I think I've turned a corner with my hamstring injury. I haven't been feeling any pain where I tore it for about a week now, but both hamstrings have felt tight. A visit to Tiger seems to have resolved the tightness and Thursdays run felt great. Seeing Ben Liddy today and I hope he'll give me the all clear.

Lots of talk in the HURTS camp about upcoming races. I'm sad not to be in shape to run the NSW 10k champs on Sunday, but I'll be watching Sally and all the boys race (good luck to everyone). The SMH half now includes the unofficial England vs Ireland half marathon champs and some of the English boys are very interested to know if I'm running. I'll be there and confident we'll take out the win. Tom is going well and I hear Fats is in good shape too. The pressure is on for me to run well! I've also managed to get into a gun team for the Cancer Council City Mile Dash. Some good prizes on offer but only for the winning team, so could be tough. Only a short one, but 1.6km flat-out really makes the lungs burn. Team Tiger sounds formidable so we have our work cut out.

Assuming Ben clears me today, I've got a relatively big weekend planned - 16k @ 3:45/km on Saturday and 2hr easy on Sunday.
