Shout outs

A couple of quick shout-outs:

Congrats to Rob for the 3h.02m in Boston. What a great place to break your PB. Let's rock the 3-hour barrier together in Melbourne !!
And to Epi who finished in 3h01 coming out of knee surgey barely couple of months ago !

To SW - whose stable won the Australian national title for 5000m Men, as well as silver in 5000m Women

Also to Ronnie who got a big PB and BQ'ed in Nagano Marathon, Japan.

As for me, nothing much to shout about. Had a mediocre training week: 6 x 1k at 3:50 and 6k tempo on undulanting road at 4:10 - which were decent, but had a miserable long run. The muscles seem to lose their elasticity and stiffened a lot during long runs.

One month gone since Seoul and I think I am about 70-75% back. Hopefully things will pick up a notch this week.

all in the space of one month...that 3hr barriers gotta go in Melbourne, although obviously Epi has already done it, but bring on Melbourne and hopefully a few more of us will have made it. If my body holds together I am planning to be there also and hopefully this! time going a lot closer to some serious low 3 action...
5 months to go, see you there.

5 months, 18 days seems a long time to go!

I think your friends and others enjoyed some of the best conditions for many a year at Boston. 2:05:52 is an amazing time for that course.
