A really good run this morning. The hills, heat and humidity made it tough, just like the conditions I expect to experience at Maroondah Dam. You gotz to train for the conditions you expect to race in otherwise come race day something is gonna sit you on your ass.

I'm not fast but I do have the mental toughness to get the job done - time and time again. That's what running long and hilly does. That's what ultra running is all about.

I added a new pair of Brooks shoes to the stable this afternoon. Looking forward to giving them a thorough workout tomorrow.

Hope the Brooks went well today. I ran 3 6's in Brooks and liked them.

Missed you after your first loop. Saw Steve's car and thought you might catch up around Ainslie.
