March 31- April 6.

Got through 6FT in a slow 5.56, moved house to Wentworth Falls... time to think of North Face 100k and further goals down the line....

MONDAY 31/3- 9K. 1.5K to Pitt Park Track, 6K barefoot on grass, 1.5K back. Felt like shite after the previous day's Great Volcanic mountain race.

TUESDAY 31/3- 12K around the streets of Wentworth Falls in the esteemed company of Kieron Thompson. Had planned to run long today but had to go to work for a few hours in the afternoon instead. Steady rain.

WEDNESDAY 1/4- 6K incl. 3K tempo in 13.19. Not much time today so flogged myself at the track to get some benefit from a 30 minute session. Also gives me a benchmark to aim at.

THURSDAY 2/4- 9.5K Lap of the Falls- home- Con Hut- Shortcut Track- picnic area- waterfalls- Rocket Point- Hordern Rd- Tableland Rd- highway- Cascade St- home. Felt like crap pretty much the whole way. Not much helped by me leaving all my running shorts at work the night before and having to run in Mel's soccer shorts instead...

FRIDAY 3/4- 9.5K Lap of the Falls again, a minute or two quicker but still struggling.

SATURDAY 4/4- 31.5K. Ran from home to work. Wentworth Falls- Railway Pde- Bullaburra-Loftus St- Lawson- Hazelbrook- Woodford- Faulconbridge- Springwood- Warrimoo. Felt pretty good actually, haven't done a road run this long in a few years. Cool, misty weather.

Flake, I got the belt for 6FT number 12 this year. Just six more till I get the jacket!

SUNDAY 5/4- 31.5K. Repeat of yesterday's run on a muggy day and tired legs. Brought up 108K for the week- first training run over 100K in three years. Neat.

Sorry Mister G forgot to look at what you did at Six Foot. Another one on the road to the belt? Is that next to hold up the buckle. Good to see North Face is still on.
