Sunday Long(ish)20k run

Last Sunday run before Xmas and with plenty of no shows over the last month or so due to the many Saturday evening socials I thought I'd better make an appearance.
Good team out with the Leech returning and great to see Mr 2.5k 'Weetbix' Man himself Renaud join us, whilst Enda was his usual, talking non stop trash from the word go.
The first 6k loop is normally spent talking all about the overnight footy scores, and I was still raging from the Stoke result where a last minute goal stopped up winning 2-1 but soon found calm when I got chatting to Renaud and 'Hardman' J.C who are always good value.
Pace quickened for the 10k loop and it was Jeet who I had to warn on numerous occasions, but like sheep everyone just seemed to follow his lead as we got down to ticking some Ks off in 4.17s coming down past the footy stadium and S.C.G
Returned to the park where Enda asked for help with a faster flat lap to end so rounded a few up to keep him company. Said he wanted between 4- 4.10s per/k but from the start it was more like 3.50s
Good way to end though and with 20ks done for the morning in 97 minutes averaging 4.23s I was more than happy with that especially for this time of the year.
Had the K splits still on from yesterdays Park Run and they were.
4.43, 4.42, 4.34, 4.33, 4.37, 4.35, 4.32, 4.23, 4.24, 4.32,
4.29, 4.22, 4.31, 4.20, 4.17, 4.20, 3.50, 3.49, 3.55, 3.54

Top morning finished off with coffee with The Leech, Birchy and Jeet.

No sign of The Mad Jock, (Craig), Brendan Fehon or 'Mr Breakfast' Hoey this morning ? Wonder if they were all out on the turps last night ?
