Sunday Long Run - 26ks

Despite NO Enda, Jeet, Jac, Wiseman and Rich Large it was still perhaps the biggest crowd for sometime for the Sunday long run. Honoured to have the North Shores Top 3 boys join us in Barts, Scotty O'Connor and Frenchman Jerome for the morning and once the first 6k loop was done we somehow settled down as the group then stayed together that made for a pleasant morning. Enjoyed good socials with Barts, Hoey and Laura throughout, but perhaps the highlight along the way was my link up with old Kanser who was making his first show for the year.  He doesn't look in bad shape to be honest (actually remarked that he lost about 10 kilo since I last saw him) as he was able to knock out 16ks.
Was happy to run just a touch over 26ks for the morning running 2hrs on the button averaging 4.40s. Furthest I've run for a while, and another solid week in the bag.
Enjoyed post run coffee after with most of the team also joining and Kanser wasting little time in getting into the big brekkie.

Afternoon spent around Paddo for social drinks as we celebrated Taffy James win in the premiership tipping comp we run. Quality afternoon with the lads as once again the trash talk and banter was taken to new levels. I think at last count I was up to about $400 in bets ranging from the next race in the Gold Coast through to Stoke finishing higher than Newcastle next season.

Big week coming up with 3 straight running days ahead.

With NOTB Top 3 - Barts, Scotty and Jerome.
Post Run coffee with the team.
Kanser wasted no time in getting his energy levels back up with the big brekkie.
Tipping Comp Team, Taffy took the title for season 2016/17
Always guarantee a top afternoon out with Birchy, Kanser and Tommy H.
The NOTB made a journey to the East, Tommy even brought wife Kirst's scarf out for the day.

Cheers
