Saturday, Stunning morning and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the park as busy with every man and his dog in the park, Was pretty full on with work but every second person I bumped into was met with a friendly ‘Hi’. Stopped at the end and had a chat with The Irish Assassin (Eamo + wife Cath) as well as Mermaid (Emma) who were both cruising around walking the beautiful dogs.
Just did an easy 10ks all up untimed.
Sunday, Had every intention of joining the crew for the usual long run but on the way bumped into two friends who were……what shall I say? Far easier to run with. Pace was certainly slower but the company made each k pass by oh so quick. Before I knew it I had knocked out 22ks for the morning before finally breaking away and doing a flat lap (3.7ks) at a faster pace solo. Wanted to try for 4 min/ks but was only able for 4.07s, still not a bad mornings work for just under 26k all up.
The team were just finishing about the same time and had a good chat to all, and it was left to Pommy Paul and I to sit on the steps for what must have been a good 40 minutes admiring the scenery and views on offer for the morning all the while as we watched a struggling Dave Kane knocking out a few ks on his comeback.
Even managed to sit there long enough to get the invite from Kanser for breaky, was a little reluctant at first seeing that ‘the good wife – Liv’ is due with the family’s 3rd child any moment but Kanser insisted and I wasn’t to be let down as he knocked out the usual top notch ‘Nose bag’ for a good feed.
Pretty good week all around and will be looking for more of the same over the next week.
Cheers
