Long run starting from home > up mt painter then met up w Jase to run over to o'connor to join the cockies. Ran w cockies up black mtn, bumped into sophie and friend on the way then through aranda hill > gossan hill > bruce ridge where peeled off from remaining cockies and headed back into black mtn. Bumped into Marty D, Anthony Haber and Chapo who were finishing off their long run. I hooked and and commenced 20 min of suffering as I hung on back to macquarie at 4min per k pace. (Andy please not my new marathon pb) Totally stuffed at the end with nasty chafing to top it off. I wont be wearing those shorts at B2H. Someone must be looking out for me though cos both kids went to sleep for a long block in the arvo allowing me an arvo sleep which i was desperate for.

Morning run with the cook dads club, jase had slept in so we ran in the reverse direction. Saw a police operation in progress as we finished in cook.

Run on black mtn with TQ Grant and Jules. Jules set the pace as usual and consequently we ran as two groups (me and jules and then GB and TQ running 100m behind). Didnt feel too sore obviously otherwise i would have been back with Tom and Grant.

ABS handicap round lake ginninderra, 7.1 km, 23.50. This was a showdown with tq, grant had to work unforunately. It was a cracker race with both of us litterally running side by side for the first 5 km. Tom made a little surge to go round some walkers and put a metre into me after that but I got back onto him quickly and wasn't feling too bad after the weekend so made a little surge on the inside of a bend. When I saw I had a small lead I pushed a little and got a bit more and once I got onto the last bridge I had ten meters so I just ran as hard as possible to the end. Got Tom by 9 sec in the end. This was my best time of the year by over 40 sec which I was pumped with esp after the weekend race. Pity grant couldn't race us too. The funnest part was reliving the race blow by blow afterwards, amazing we are so equal.
