Tears at the A.B.C Pool

Sorry for the lack of correspondence over the past week but in truth there has not been anything to write about with very little training. Anyway i was determined to get down for the Friday lunchtime swim today with the guys for a decent hit out.
Good crew in the lane with Brendan, Enda, Mr Ace, Elegant Julia (EJ), and myself , although there were tears from Angus who we booted over to the fast lane as he was getting to quick for us, No sign of Mikey today either so it was left to me to call the session that was 2 x 400, 2 x 300s, 2 x 200s and 2 x100s , We actually stood around for about 25 minutes deep in discussion on who was actually going to lead the lane on the first rep before Brendan was man enough to do the honours. Pretty sharp it was to as we knocked out a 6.37, there were more tears to come as we made Enda do a turn on the first on the 300 metre effort before i was called on to do some work for the day.
Poor Angus was doing everything in his power to get back into our lane as was Irish Kev (who was also crying)......... but once you've gone up there is NO RETURN (Sorry Boys :) )
Struggled a little today although times were OK for the day so I'm happy enough with that.
Times were, 6.38, 6.45, 5.00, 5.00, 3.20, 3.22, 1.39, 1.40
2.6ks done with warm up and cool down.

Strider's 10k at Lane Cove in the morning although i will be NO SHOW as i have a few things i have to do as well as my Achilles really isn't up to running a tough 10ks at this stage and i don't want to have to go through the same ordeal as what was witnessed 4 weeks back at North Head, so i think it best to steer clear and just get out on Sunday for an easier 15ks with the boys.
I promise that i will be back out with the boys from Tuesday next week as hopefully i will have got my life back in order after the past month or so of being all over the place.
Good luck to all those that are running.
Have a great weekend , and train safe.

Also , big weekend in the English footy again with some important games non bigger then the Stoke vs Villa game that has seen Enda and I having a little wager on the outcome, Obviously i have the Potters whilst he has his Villains, although i honestly can't see it being anything else but a score draw.
Timmy's Tip - Stoke 1 v Aston Villa 1
Big racing weekend on the turf as well with the Golden Slipper being held out West at Rosehill, hard to go past the favorite but if you were looking for value go the top horse.
Timmy's Tip - Criterion

Cheers
