A great weekend was topped off nicely when a group of us met at Tilleys for coffee and a lovely wind down catching up on all the news. What stunning weather we enjoyed this weekend.

5.30pm – speedygeoff’s group at PH - Run
Distance: 10:6km
Rachelle and I did a short warm-up of 1.55km before joining the main group when we ran another warm-up loop of PH before heading down below the oval where everybody ran as fast as possible (some of us still ran slowly) for 40secs in one direction before turning and running gently back to the start and running fast in the other direction for 40secs. This we repeated 6 times before running up to the road level where we did the same thing all over again. We followed this with a warm down loop of PH. The temp was a pleasant 25deg but it felt hotter! It was actually quite a stunning evening, still and beautiful.
You always get the best partners. I had to put up with speedy Rachellie.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Katy would accuse me of being gay if I wanted a blue shirt like that?
your times should be getting faster as you're on a slippery slope now. listening to ewen. it's like all that stuff your parents taught you ... whoosh! down the tube.
