Rosalie Run. Started out behind Helen and Chris but caught the others at the lights and James encouraged me to run with him. I started to feel good after a few minutes so moved up to join the lead group of Ben, Mark and Seymour. Once we hit the hills I started to struggle and dropped about 50m behind the others but I was able to catch up on the downhill and Ben just about stopped at the top of Ponies frolicking in a light mist so I found myself off the front with only Mark coming with me to the regroup at the war memorial.
I intended to take it easy on the run home but found myself hanging on just a little behind Mark at the top of the hill and couldn't resist catching up on the downhill again. I actually left him behind a bit despite feeling as though I was easing off but of course he caught up again when it flattened and I spent the rest of the run trying hard to hang on without looking as though I was trying hard.
