So I'd pre-empted the pod's advice and ran anyway this week
105km@4:24
Monday as previously documented the 3k of race@3:39. After coming home I ran down to Mosman Park easy 10k@4:37
Tuesday 12.3k@4:22 - MP for 10k of this (2k warmup)
Wed 20k@4:20 - MP except for a section of running into galeforce winds - tempo effort, slow pace. The only plus was that the cyclists seem worse affected than me and I passed a couple of them
Thurs rest
Fri 12k@4:17 - MP
Sat13.7k@4:20 - MP after 2k warmup
Sunday 34.5k@4:30 - tough start after a cousin's 21st Sat night- little sleep and a little nauseous. No Rob to push me along so I headed down to Lake Monger to give me a target of sdome type. Saw Rob there and as we warmed up and chatted he missed the start - my bad! Running back I hit a second wind and ran the last 10k in 43 min, with the last 5k@4:12.
So it was largely MP running this week, and a bit of a confidence booster - my first 100k+ since early March. One more similar week before starting to reduce. Foot feels fine
Had my running shoe bargain of the year this weekend. Went down to Rebel Sport in Claremont and on the clearance table they had a pair of DS Trainer 13's in my size for $29.99 - the tag was labelled Blackhawk but I checked with the salesguy and he said the price stood - bargain!

I think you are ready for sub-3. The mid-week 20k MP and weekend long run are confidence booster.
The DS Trainer is a real bargain. It would be rude not to buy it.
100k+ a shoe bargain!!! you are back!!
