Hickson Road 1.2k Reps

With Mikey absent with a calf problem he was then sending emails out left, right and centre prior to the session that saw half the team all over the city trying to find the meeting place, but it was left to the reliable Chairman Tommy H to sort us all out when he demanded we start at the Park Hyatt to enable us to get the full 1.2ks in to do the tough Hickson Road session.
Good turnout once more with Slim Sammy Agnew starting to shine by adding some consistency with another showing, I felt pretty good before the session and was keen to give this one a solid hit out.  Got running with Bartles and Tom (can you believe) on the first rep (who were taking it easy) and crossed in 3.54 (about 3.16 pace), knew it was too quick but wanted to see how long I could sustain the pace. Surprised myself with an even quicker 2nd rep and was happy to tuck in with the ever improving Lady Laura on the 3rd and 4th. A few kind words from Slim Sammy Agnew on the 4th kept me honest when I was losing it a little and was more then happy when he and Enda run the 5th rep with me to stop the times from blowing out.
Pretty happy with the session on the whole and I’ve always said if I can run this session with times ALL under 4 minutes then I know I am starting to improve – so here’s hoping J

Times today were:
3.54, 3.52, 3.59, 3.58, 4.00

Said it before but the team were flying again today, as mentioned Lady Laura seems to have found another gear over the past week or two, and there must have been a dozen guys ahead of me today who all were running about 3.15 pace for the session… Unbelievable. At this rate I can sense a few PBs will be broken at next weeks City to Surf (unfortunately I won’t be one of them)

Away from running for a moment, the Trash has been sent another ‘When I Was Young’ photo – following on from Kanser, Fats, Enda we have another HuRTS member from his junior day’s .Can you guess who he/she is????
Clue – The ‘Gay’ Hand may give it away J

Back down for the Friday swim again today and with Mikey in the ‘Broken Wing Club’ we may even see him return to the fold, If so it may mean Golden Duck Winner from last week – Champ gets to move up a position in the lanes? Also got to head back for another Yoga session for more fun and games ………….well lying down for 90 minutes at least.


Showing good form even at a young age,  Still not sure about that 'hand' ?



Also in a family shot (centre), must have been to the same barber as Enda when he was a kid ...Bowl Head.
Big Brother is on the left and with a hair style like that there is a possiblity that he will take off whilst running the Berlin Marathon
Can we Guess WHO they are?????

Cheers
