Med/Long City to Surf Run.

Lined up Tommy H to start running with me on Wednesday’s leading up to the City to Surf as I’ve simply NOT been doing enough of late. Apart from the usual Tuesday and Thursday sessions with the boys I practically don’t do much else if you don’t include the Sunday set.

Called a nice group in to join as well that included ‘Man of the Moment’ Hoey, Crossy Lad, Frenchie Jerome, Leech (for a short part), Gleeso and Worsick also tapped on.

Headed over to Rushcutters before joining New South Head Rd, then picked up the pace at the O’Sullivan lights and worked at a stronger pace going up ‘Heartbreak’ . With the others either cruising or taking it easy I found myself leading the way until Hoey came flying past me with ease looking like he was just about to put his brunch order in, before Jerome did the same just on the top before we turned around.

Steady pace running with the lads back, before Tommy H needed a pit-stop so waited for him near Catalina and run the final 5ks listening to ‘The Chairman’ telling me of his plans of redemption come City to Surf day.

He sounded pretty determined and was keen to lay his bets but I told him he shouldn’t bet on anger and wait another 2 weeks to get it out of his system.

Returned to the city with 17ks done, pace was nothing to get excited about, although 2.3ks covered including the hill leg was done around 4.09s

Great session and a few more like this will surely make the starters line in 4 weeks that much easier to get to Bondi.

Will do again on Saturday morning with the team.

Well, I think Miss James (Laura) and I need to chat….. she’s always spruiking to me that she’s the #1 blog reader on these pages, BUT it appears that may not be the case. Tommy H was cock a hoop today when he not only found he had a reader but Laura actually prefers his ‘Times’ journal to mine.

Not sure when this was the case (probably at the Gold Coast when she was slightly intoxicated) but if it helps Tommy’s confidence in continuing then so be it.

Worked out today that Hoey’s number 1 fan is Nigella Lawson, who reads his ‘Greasy Joes’ review religiously.

Confirmation that Laura has finally LOST IT , my feelings are shattered.

Meanwhile whilst we are all training hard over here, Enda is still whinging about the adversity of travelling to China and that he's forced to smoke 100 ciggies a day.
Seriously, he's like an old women.

Will be back out tomorrow for the HuRTS 3 x 2ks reps down beside the Passenger Terminal.

Cheers
