My half marathon training was dealt a blow on Saturday when I paced by 7 year old neice to a 5km PB of 34.30 minutes. Now, dont get me wrong as I can run 5km quicker than that and I was also taking the tougher route to help her to a good time but the damn kid has an awesome kick for a final sprint finish where she left me overtook another woman and finished 5 seconds and two places ahead of me where I was giving it 110% just to keep up with her sprint. There was me thinking i'll let her beat me and she just left me for dead.

Have been doing a bit on the bike over the last few weeks but cycing has been put on hold for the next week as the Tour de France is coming to town. As they say, if you cant beat them....watch them.
