Longish Saturday

With a bit of an easier morning work wise it was decided we would do our long run on a Saturday this week and we were fortunate to get JP winner and HuRTS number one girl Laura grace us for the morning along with Mikey Conway and Old Kanser.
Despite Kanser and i changing our days, Mr Conway wouldn't budge on his 7.30 start and as i didn't finish work til near 8am it meant i missed the first 6ks of the run ( cheers Mikey :) )
Pace was kept pretty honest from the off though, with Kanser itching to pick it up each time around the 8k loops as he continues his recent fine form, whilst i was lucky just to hang in there.
Did 22.2ks for the morning in 1.38, average pace of 4.28, whilst Mikey and Laura ended up doing 24k, Kanser went bigger and knocked out 30 for the morning i think?
Talk soon turned to Striders Hombush in a fortnight, and Kanser has agreed to give me (a lousy) 90 second start on handicap, and Mikey bet Dave that he couldn't get within 60 seconds of Chairman Tom  - I think he could be right.
If any Trash readers are wanting a flutter or bet on old Kanser , just let me know :)
Morning off tomorrow now ,and a few social ones may be on the cards tonight now i got my long run out the way.

No sign of Enda still after our latest revelations yesterday, and i even saw young Cara and Conor Kane still traumatised by it all in the park this morning.
Got a bit of a serve YET again from Jimmy James over there in France about my literary skills in the recent blog, It seems our old 'Saint Cyprien Spelling Bee' Mate is more worried about how i spell - and all this coming from a Geordie of all people - charming.
I knew i should have completed my uni studies at Oxford instead of taking that 'paper round' i had.
Or maybe i should write the blog so he can understand my dialect..... "Please. canny man, gi's a lift i' yor cairt."

Hopefully be back at 100% next week, until then.

Also handed Mikey Conway his HuRTS year in review booklet this morning, after he wasn't happy at Xmas that Tom got one and he didn't despite ALL his hard work he does for the team.
I left him a happy chappie in the park as he looked at the pictures, although it wasn't long before he had his business head back on and was seen at the cafe charging people 50 cents each to have a look :)

Cheers
