Swift 36km and a glorious morning

36km in 2:30 (4:11/km) - last 10km in 37:55 (3:48/km)

For something different, I arranged to run with Tom, Macca and a few other guys this morning. It was an early start, 6am at Toms, but Sally had to get down to Kogarah for the Striders run so I arrived 20mins early for a bit of stretching before we set off. The route was completely new for me and the pace was honest from the start. The six of us (Tom, Macca, Bartles, Craig McCredie and Tom Buckley) just about stayed together for the whole run which meant good company and the time flew. Felt really good through-out, but once my watch said 36km, I stopped it - I was spent and jogged it in. The other guys kept the pace quick for another 800m up to Toms place.

Very disciplined with the post training nutrition, so coffee and bacon & egg wrap on Manly Beach with Sally! What a view.

115km for the week.
