Mother's Day Long Run.

Rolled out early for the 6.30am start but a bit of a mishmash today due to Mothers Day, with Laura and Elzy joining us later, Sonii, catching us at half way, Birchy taking it easier (running at 5 min ks),and no sign of Jeet or ‘the Sweaty Sock. It basically meant I was running at the front with only C.T and Enda for company, although Hoey also appeared and knocked out a few ks with us and was good company – especially when he started giving Tom’s blog a serve.

After a late night cooking up a storm and watching some footy I was tired as we knocked out the regular 6ks before the bigger 10k loop was all done around 4.30 pace. Surprisingly at 16ks C.T called it a day (preparing for his 100k next week), Enda departed, and both the Shire girls left to rejoin the Mothers Day Classic Fun run in the Domain.

I had planned only 20 today myself with a fast last 4k flat lap finish but when Sonii came cruising in wanting to do more ks I was happy just to float around at a more sedate pace to complete the mornings work.

20ks total average 4.35s in 91 minutes

First 6ks; 4.52, 4.41, 4.49, 4.38, 4.35, 4.37

Next 10k; 4.28, 4.23, 4.28, 4.30, 4.23, 4.32, 4.32, 4.27, 4.26, 4.34

Last 4ks: 4.40, 4.43, 4.50, 4.19

Ticking along all OK , pretty big week done and will have a good session Tuesday before easing off before next Sundays S.M.H Half

Great night in the footy, Stoke battered Spurs to get to the magical 50 points for the season, and even better I officially take out the Mediocre Cup Comp, looks like another afternoon on the drinks care of the boys.

Rest Day tomorrow, but will try to get down for the Monday swim.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Special Mums out there.

Cheers

On the first run of the day, must have been early as form is still OK, Notice Warrior Charlie in the background in his fancy dress suit.

Laura was to follow in her first stint and was supported by Mikey and I
