I have really been pushing of late and yesterday decided that the best thing yesterday morning was to take a REST DAY. There is no doubt that you have to rest to get better performances. When I woke up the legs just felt heavy so I using mental strength more than anything, I rested. Sometimes the frustration of not working out is worse than the aches and pains of pushing myself.
Today, was a new day after signing up at the Gym last night I bounded down there at 6am only to find that it was not open due to a Public Holiday for the Elections here. If I was blonde I would have an excuse. So back home and out onto the road.
I have had the feeling that in the last few months I had been doing junk km's , and so I have been refocusing on doing track, Hills and of course the weekly long. Thus I headed to the Hills Circuit which is a nice warm up of two km's, before turning onto the Hill , again I decided on only doing four repeats , the transition into this hill training has to be done gradually , not wanting to suffer any injuries
Today the efforts of shortening my pace seems to be working well, I felt really strong and the splits today reflected many things including the cross training regime

Hi Mal, this is Peter from Canada writing again. Thanks for checking out my blog. I've put a link to yours and I mentioned you in yesterday's post. I chuckled when I read your "blond" comment. Jeepers, even I, way over here in Canada, knew that it was election day in Israel! Liked reading your post about the 3 countries half marathon. I would love to visit your part of the world sometime and that alone would be a good excuse to do it. All the best. Hope we'll meet some day in person.
