Valuable Lesson About Rest Days

Adam and I learnt a very valuable lesson about rest days today! We've both done 4 days running straight - Adam has clocked up 35odd kms and I've managed just over 40kms since Tuesday.
We headed out with a reduced Hurts pack (Mike and James were the only two I recognised today) due to the one mile dash at Barangaroo and within 10 minutes we were both wishing we had chosen that option.
It was a Cremorne Point run today, so the first thing we hit was the Cahill followed by the bridge and then hills up to Neutral Bay. Made it to the sea pool about 1/2km from the end of the point and had been well dropped by the group so turned back and did all the hills again. Our pace was blistering - we averaged about 5m kms today but 12 kms all up including the run up to the start. no running this weekend I thikn - certainly not tomorrow! Stats are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/92907752 and are pretty embarassing.
