Kawauchi

AM
8km - 39:53 (4:59km's) Solo around The Bay.

Bloody sore from hockey, first 2km's took 12mins, felt better as I progressed.

PM
2x500m (10) 78.69 headwind, 75.82 tailwind. Solo on The Bay.

Had planned 4x1km, 4x500, but nobody showed up for the session. I did my warm up and felt much better than expected so changed it to a hard session. Not fast, but not bad for concrete and much better than I expected to get out of today. I seem to be adapting to the hockey and recovering a bit better each week.

Yuki Kawauchi ran 2:11.56 at Hofu Yomiuri on the weekend only 2 weeks after a 2:09.57 at Fukuoka. If this guy was white and stopped for pizza during his training runs the Aussie running public would be going nuts!
