Trim AC - 6.2km Tempo.
Started off with 2 big laps of the park before training to bulk the distance a bit. Then jog to Supermacs to start. Got asked if I was a new member of the Couch 2 5km group........talk about knocking an ego! John was about so was hoping he would split the work and we could push on in the wind and rain. After ~600m I was alone by maybe 20m. 11:25 would have been a new Strava record for the segment but we were standing inside the segment area by a few metres before we stared. At the turn John was only ~150m back on the turn. Everyone was very strung out when I was on the way back. 11:09 back so got the pacing pretty well. Bit of a chat as people rolled in before they started doing static stretching in the rain after. I remembered a Donie-ism: "Have you ever seen a race horse stretch?" and was getting a bit cold so jogged with Heather and Michael back to the cars. Quick change into a thermal top, jacket and my head torch before another lap of the big park loop before heading home.

It was always gonna be a good workout when I got 2 pointless answers in the final round of Pointless, "Members of the 2002 England World Cup Squad"....
Did a few miles around the XC lap in the park before training to bulk things up. Then there was a 2km group warm up and the marathon crew were doing 3*2km progressions. Some guy called Kieran was about (3rd in the Meath Masters XC recently) so James told me to run with him. Decided 5*2km was more useful so I worked from ~8:10 -> 6:59. He hung on for the first 3 reps and then I was alone at the end.
Theres a 10km in Longwood on Sunday morning so I might enter that and set a time in October to see where Im at currently.

"Ophelia you're breaking my heart"
Slipped out of the office for a lunch time run. Bit breezy out and lots of stuff flying about the place. Surprisingly nobody else out!
