Run Possum Run

First and formost,mad props and much respect to my mate Kevin at work who found this photo of a running possum,how could I not post it on my blog?
This running possum was on the track at Temple this evening for 5x1,000m repeats and looking to improve on May 29ths 3.06.9,3.03.7,3.04.9,3.06.6,3.00.0.
Following my mile warm up and core strenght stretches it was have at it time,and have at it I did!!
#1 1,000m 1.13-1.15-34-3.02.0.I couldn't have asked for a better start,the days of looking to run sub 3.10s have now been replaced w/ sub 3.05s.
#2 1,000m 1.15-1.15-33-3.03.5.Coming into today 1.15,1.15,-33 was my target time,sometimes theory and practice are the horse of a same colour afterall!
#3 1,000m 1.14-1.13-34-3.01.3.Fuckin' ada!!,when#3 is faster than #1 you know you're doing something right!
#4 1,000m 1.14-1.16-32-3.02.4.You know you're doing something right when 1.16 is your slowest split!!!
#5 1,000m 1.13-1.15-29-2.57.8.WDFPN.....who da feckin' Possum now!!!!!I told myself"on it from the start"and was pleased to see an opening 400 split of 1.13,when I came through 800m in 2.28 I knew whatever was left in the tanks had to be left on the track....it was!!
W/only 2 more 5x1,000m repeats scheduled b4 Nationals it might be too big an ask to start thinking about all 5 sub 3 but post Nationals,I'd say all bets are off!
