I had considered running a 5K this morning at Masters or a 10K this evening at QA (Open) but the forecast was for strong winds so I decided to delay my return to the track for at least another week!
Today at Nudgee it was real windy and quite cool (about 20 O C - 70 O F). I tried to escape the wind by running 300's though from about halfway through the session the wind was swirling around and I seemed to be running into it along the straight. Regardless I was happy with the session, no reaction yet from the right groin and left knee coped OK. I ran it in flats.
It was far easier just running 300's rather than 400's but hopefully doing 3's added a touch of speed. The heart rate was only getting into the 150's bpm compared with those 5mins intervals where I hit 179 bpm . 
I ran this session purely on the Garmin using the interval mode which takes some getting used to. That is I need to practice going off a flying start on the long beep - it doesn't really matter if you hit the line early or late as it is measuring distance. I wasn't looking at the watch on the finish line so didn't know what splits I was running. Sometimes I find the split feedback can assist motivation to keep pushing hard. Had to concentrate on keeping it relaxed, specially when the wind picked up!
My congratulations go out to my blogging buddy, Tom Highnam and his wife Kirst on the birth of his 5th child Claudia Esme Highnam
