Doing it Tough - Sunday Long Run.


Tough to make the 6.30am start after a massive Saturday afternoon /evening but the pain was eased slightly when ‘Sweaty’ Craig Wiseman handed over $20 care of last Sundays efforts where he couldn’t get within the 1.40 handicap time.

Small team to begin with only Jeet, Brendan, Mark Branagan, Craig and later Hoey to do the usual 6k loop before returning to collect Jac, Fats, and ‘Twins’ Sammy J & Birchy both in bright yellow headbands and socks –WTF? Pretty easy pace as we made our way down Ocean Street and then onto the City to Surf course, Group split here and I was happy to run in the back group with Birchy, Sam, Craig and Jac. The boys started to pull away heading up Heartbreak and with Jac battling a week of the flu I run at her pace before the turnaround point at the Lighthouse at Watsons Bay 9ks.

Returned the same way getting back to the park with another 18ks done.

24k all up in 1hr;54

Felt shocking all the way and was thankful that the pace was easier or else I would have been struggling.

Enjoyed a double dose of coffees post run with Jeet, Birch and Jac

 

Rest day for running on Monday, although I hear the weather is picking up so may start back with the Monday lunch swim.

 

Cheers
