Tuesday 3000m PB!!!

First up went for an easy 10k

Tonight I was really hoping to go under 10min for the first time. Got to the track & found it pretty windy so started having my doubts. Just thought I'd go out hard & see if I could hold on. Having my girls there cheering me on was a bonus!
I knew Mark & Cale were only running 2k but at a very fast pace so I also knew the pace would be on. I know I went through the first lap in about 74sec & the first k in 3:13. I think I went through 2k in 6:19. I was finding I wasn't fading & I was closing in on Charlie. Was a bit shocked when I passed him & the goal now was to stay in front of him. I got to the last 200m in 9:14 & thought "shit I'm going to go under 10min!" I just ran that last 200m as hard as I could (37sec) & finished in 9:51 on the dot by my watch. That's a 15sec PB!

I then lined up for the 800m. First lap in 78sec & second lap in 74sec to do 2:32. As soon as I stopped I vomited! That's how hard I pushed myself. Did a couple of km's warmdown but was still feeling really sick!
Came good by the time I got home
