Sunday - Long Run

Another cracking morning out there, spring is well and truly in bloom. Met Hamish, Richard, Ben, Scott & Justin at the pool. Toby joined us at Dee Why as we ran a nice and leisurely pace towards Narrabeen. Really noticed the fatigue when we approached any form of incline, which was to be expected after yesterday. Ben and Hamish turned early (both racing the full and half next Sunday, respectively), and Justin took off after 10k as he had planned out 20km at marathon pace (ouch)! I was very happy to hide in the small pack and let the others lead and set the pace. A few times Hamish and Richard started gapping Scotty and myself, both of us more than happy to let them go. Toby peeled off at Dee Why so Richard was back with us for the final few kilometers. I did the calculations on Strava and figured I needed 28.6km this morning to get 140km on the dot for the week. So finished 100m past Barts' favourite (The Trobodour). 4:26's. Really happy to have gotten through a week of a new approach to the easier runs - I reckon it has helped immensely. Looking forward to sticking with this now. But not as excited as more experimental homemade breakfasts - going for sweet potato porridge this morning. If it half as good as yesterday's French toast, I will be more than satisfied.
