Hard Sunday

Big crowd out today for the Sunday run with a few north shore faces - obviously realising better running across in the east! Good to see Laura back after a couple of weeks out with an injury and hoping she makes Canberra. Usual suspects in CT, Barts, Renee, Jit, Ant, Ellie and Paul with the Chairman making a guest appearance and Timmy doing a 6km PB with the 6.30 start. Must have knackered him as he didn't do any more than that. Felt ordinary right from the get go - huge piece of rib eye for dinner at friends last night was always going to cause some discomfort - and it didn't help that the pace was on straight from the off. Barts was a bit cheeky and made us do all of moonlight cinema hill on the first rep and so I wans't convinced I was going to make it pas 10kms this morning. Second lap felt worse and dropped off the front group to stay with Ellie and Paul for the second lap but even that felt bad. All up just over 19kms at 4.34 average. Had to have 30 mins dozing on the couch this avo but another 50km plus week. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/469899455
