20.5km today and for the week so far, 13 runs/16 days this month
Due to weather and availability we moved our Sat Club run from Sat to Sun, which fitted in with me excellently. I dropped my boys at home in the morning and then enjoyed a lateish (after 10) breaky at a Cafe for the first time in a few months.
I made my way out to the Woodlands Historic Park earlier than the rest of the runners so I could get 8-10k in prior.
The weather was ok, well for this time of the year, so I ran in a singlet, tights & shorts. So as soon as I arrived I got ready and was off asap. With my Garmin today I wanted to make sure I sat between 4:50 & 5:00, and no slower than 5:10 up the hills. At times I was slightly faster than this and arrived back at the BBQ area at 2ish in mid 42 minutes, running 8.9km. I chucked a jacket on and just slowly jogged around whilst waiting for everyone else to get ready, probably 5 minutes.
I was asked if my plan was similar to one of the 16 year old distance girls and help her sit just below 5 min pace, which was my plan, so off with Bec for 50-60 minutes. We started a tad faster than she should have back within 5-7 min we were comfortably on pace and chatting for the entire time. A couple of the fast guys sat with us for about 3km but then moved on.
Running just over 11.5km on the second run easily put me over 20km for the day, which was all done at a very comfortable cruising pace. Plan for the week is nothing too hard, a few km's but not too much as it would be nice if some of the hills at Jells seem a little easy, but probably not.

I'm not sure about the singlet today Stu. I was all rugged up for my run, although it was earlier in the morning.
Must've been warmer over my side of town - I ran in a T but could have quite easily had just the singlet. Sounds like you had a good day :-)
OMG - what is with the word verification today? Does blogger think I am some kind of secret agent specialising in codes or something?
