Saturday - 3km (off 3 minutes), 2km (off 2 minutes), 1km

First session back! Joined Scotty outside his place in Cremorne where we did a long warm-up (almost 5.5km) to North Sydney oval. There we did some drills before hitting out for 3km, 2km, and 1km (initially had planned for some 400's at the end, which was a good call forgoing these). Really surprised at how well I could hold the pace for the first two reps. 9:43 and 6:24, sitting just behind Scotty (albeit a bit easier for the first one). But then I had nothing left for the final rep - 3:17 to Scott's 3:03. Nonetheless, just stoked to get through it really - and much better than anticipated. The same long cooldown back to Cremorne for about 20km all up. Was originally planning some hills for Tuesday morning, but might forgo these and join Scott again for Quarters. I think running with someone else makes the world of difference, so it is worth the drive and extra effort. Too cold for a swim this morning, so instead baking some fresh homemade granola - breakfast of champions!
