With a busy weekend ahead i thought i would knock out my long run today so did 12ks in and around the park before running in to met Tucks. We then set of heading over the 'dark side' of the bridge making our way to Cremorne Pt... bejaysus, I forgot how hilly it is over that way, and was forced to do the old 'Shoe lace has come undone' trick a few times to slow Tucks down and to give me a breather. I felt like a bloody mountain goat going up some of those climbs whilst Tucks just smiled away keeping me amused how he plans to keep the Chairman in his pocket again for season 2012 :)
All up about 14ks with Tucks by the time we went our separate ways, not a fast time averaging 4.47 per/k , but it was tough enough with doing 12k beforehand.
I then went into 'FastGear Sports' on York St to pick up my drugs and saw the original 'Hardman' JC in there as well - tells me Enda's been soft and not cycling in the rain lately and that if it rains on Ironman day in Melbourne Enda has requested to do the bike leg indoors on a wind trainer ?
Then had to run back to the park which was a further 4ks back , had great intentions of running but with the rucksack on my back weighing a ton it was near impossible and was reduced to a walk even forced to stop on Oxford Street when i saw a 'Special ' Coffee & Banana Bread offer to good to refuse :)
All all for the day 30ks (including the 3k walk), happy with that especially after doing a big 3 days prior to today.
Earned myself a break now, and i have a big party to attend in Kirribilli tomorrow so the Sunday run might be put on hold.
Mentioned before, but Tucks reiterated once again that if Tom beats him at Six Foot Track he will race this Years City to Surf in his best suit, He did say that he would even beat him wearing it ...but that's another story :)
Have a good weekend
Cheers.
