EARTHQUAKE DESTRUCTION..........
I dunno what to say here really..........just so awful. Another addition to a long string of natural disasters. My family are located 500km south but I know quite alot of people from my school moved to Christchurch to work. I dare hope all of them, (and my relatives who live in Christchurch are safe). My thoughts go out to everyone involved and to those who have family and friends near the area.
After that horrible unwanted distraction in the day and another busy one at work I will say I hit the gym, (instead of wine bottle) and actually had my best tempo running workout in months. 5.47km in 30 mins, increasing the speed by an increment every few mins. I felt as if I could have even done a bit more even though I ran the last min at 12.8kmph just to finish me off. And hit the rower for a 5 min blast thereafter. Still feel a bit of backstrain, particularly after being at work on feet, bending etc after a few hours but it seems to be getting better. Guy at bus stop this morn was asking today and still thinks I should have seen some specialists etc and gave me a concerned look about soldiering on and reckons I'd be really pushing it to run in the Gold Coast half marathon in July..................hmmm. He sounds like he has had some unfortunate back probs over time.
Not sure of tomorrows workout yet...............will decide and then hopefully do it.

Pip,
I hope your relatives and friends have escaped the Christchurch earthquake. I had no idea it was SO BAD. I woke up to the shocking pics this morning and wondered how many more natural disasters we had to deal with??
About your running ... OMG you are so FAST. I wont tell you how long it takes me to do 5kms - well I might when I meet you LOL.

Magda,
I have heard that all my family and relatives in Christchurch have survived the earthquake un hurt. There was a some damage to one of my relatives property. Not sure about people I may know of or who I went to school with many years ago. I just hope I don't recognise any names when the dreaded list comes out.
I'd be stoked if I could match my 5km times on the treadmill out on the road. When I get down to a 25 min 5km on road I will be stoked! A few years ago I got my 5km down to 26 mins, now I think it's around 30 mins on road. Can't wait to meet ya!
