Fantastic 5's

Out as bit later as the session was to be short and sharp and had a late night. After years of promising to do so Helen and I had a delightful meal at a restaurant at Hunters Hill where our son has been chef for a couple of years. We have not been there before but with our two younger ones away with school activities we took the opportunity presented by a kids free night.

One problem going to as restaurant where you know the chef's is that they don't present you with a menu but simply say 'leave it to us' and so then followed what felt like and endless procession of wonderful small samples of what seemed like was the whole menu. It was wonderful but strange having your son present meals to you that look like they should be on the front of some cooking book - far removed from the days of feeding him his mashed vegatables and playing planes to get it into his mouth.

Any way I digress ...

Thought 2 x 5k would be on order however after yesterdays effort thought I would struggle to post some respectable times - the hope was 4.15 ks or 21.15. Felt wonderful as I left the house and the weather at 6.15 was just perfect and so thought I would not run controlled but flat out on each rep and see what happened - result 20.48 and 20.39 - elated to say the least. I thought they were great times considering where they were in regard to the weeks sessions so far.
