I think it is almost written in stone that on Wednesday at 6.00am JD and I will meet outside the Rowers Club just above Drummoyne Pool. Being a post marathon week noting changed. Like clockwork we approach from opposite direction at the appointed time. A few minutes chatting and then we are off.
As usual the pace on the run is far quicker then we usually feel we can run or expect to run. No doubt running with a buddy help to get to an maintain a quicker pace then you would do alone. There were mumblings that 5 minute pace and just under 35 would be it.
A few k into it we stopped and chatted to Sook54 out after her 4.13 marathon on Sunday and sounding and looking like it had never happened. We continued on but by 4/5k JD was easing ahead. Thankfully I held on and we both finished in about 32.
Yep a bit quicker than expected but that always seems to be the way of Wednesday. That is why I enjoy them - they are run much quicker that would otherwise be. In fact if it wasn't for the standing arrangement I may well have stayed in bed and then regretted that decision later in the day.
