2,200km done already; HEL-LHR. Minor panic this morning when I woke up a full hour after my alarm was *supposed* to have gone off. If would have too, if I'd turned it on. No matter, instead of a easy, relaxed morning I showered and left my apartment in 15min flat and still arrived at Helsinki airport in plenty of time.
As I type this, I'm sitting in the arrivals area at LHR waiting for Hayley's flight from YYZ to arrive, then a day and night in London before heading down the M5 to the race site tomorrow afternoon.

Re: Thursday @LHR
Good workout this morning- 4.5K warm up, 6 x 100m hills hard, 3K cool down.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
Re: Thursday @LHR
Track workout tonight with the clinic. But I likely will just run easy pace as I'm racing Sunday. I'll ask our track coach what he thinks.

Re: Thursday @LHR
5k easy done. There were some stairs and my knee felt a little twinge afterwards, but it all seems good.
Less worrying, more running.

Re: Thursday @LHR
Went out to do some hills today. It's my boss' first day back from vacation, so I needed to get out and run in the sun. I also have ultimate frisbee tonight, so I didn't do as many hills as prescribed; only about 75%.
