How I wish, how I wish you were here.

Wow will ran longer and further than I ever have before and damn am I tired.

Headed out to the bay yesterday morning and arrived at just on 5:20, I had realised half way there that I had left my breakfast at home back decided to forget about it and just focus on the run. Was planning on making my first attempt at a 2 hour run and was meeting a friend who would join me for the second lap and hopefully carry me across the last 15 minutes. Headed out at a nice easy pace for me 7:30min/k and was going strong and even averaging 7:10min/k I added in the canal in the first loop as my friend only wanted to do 7K unfortunately at the 5K marker near all that loose gravel I did not see a small rock on the path and ended up flat on my face with gravel imbedded in my hands and a perfect key shaped bruise on my right hip (had my card key in my pocket). Luckily no one was around so just got up dusted myself off and keep running made it back to the start and meet up with CR Pebbles and we headed of for the second lap. Now Pebbles is a little faster than me so I got a little scared when I saw our first K time was 6:30 but decided to just stick as close as I could and see what happens. So I managed to hold on and we averaged under 7min/k for the rest of the run and ended up doing my fastest loop of the bay ever so was pretty happy about that. All in all ended up doing 16.85K in 2:00:04 (unfortunately I didn’t look at the distance until it was to late otherwise I would of finished of the last 150 meters to hit the 17K marker.
