Good Long Monday Run

Very happy with the run today - out with the Hurts group for the long Monday session and aimed to do the whole thing and managed just shy of 15kms - had to miss out Mrs Maquaries point of the way back. A good crowd today of about a dozen people and some stories from the weekend's races. Mike and a few others very unhappy with their Striders 10km times in Sydney and it seems everyone ran slow times. The most impressive performance of the weekend has to have been Tom's virgin marathon experience at the Gold Coast where he did a 2.36 - a sensational effort and hopefully one I can emulate in Melbourne, if all is well!
So back to today and out with Adam and very happy with an average of 4.25's for the session with the run stats at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/96690062. Didn't feel good for the first 5 or 6 kms- legs felt heavy and when Adam headed off after 10kms, I really wanted to go with him but knoew the back end of the week would be no running, so pushed on and felt good for the second half. Even managed to pick up the pace through the 11/12km marks. So all up nearly 17kms today and a solid start to the week.
