Ran Cotter yesterday, backing up today on a course that I like even if it has plenty of bike paths, just run on the edges. I went back 2 groups to group 39 after the January 11th place finish and it seemed to take a long time to catch even the group runners in front. Ran strongly up the hill on the first 2 kms, didn't have the leg speed to take advantage on the down hill and certainly not on the flat.
Caught CJ on the flat bike path near the drain, that did take some effort, she is going well ( 100 kms a week does bring some benefit) and then it took a while to catch Strewth at the oval. Told her to move along as CJ was behind, but all in vain, couldn't hold her out.
After presentations, I went on an easy run out to Scrivener Dam and back with Bob Harlow on his bike passing me on the way. He backed up from yesterdays run with a long bike ride as he is off to Nepal in a few weeks time on a trekking holiday that with include going to the base camp the climbing parties use to climb Mt Everest. That will be a great trip, but he is unsure about altitude sickness.

You would have had to run on the edges to get past CJ and Strewth - not that they're wide or anything.

I think Ewen had better watch what he says - CJ is fast fading away to no space at all so is he insinuating that strewth takes up a whole path? Hmmm, some friends you have!! I think he's in trouble when I see him tomorrow! It was great to catch up with you today Two Fruits - you're looking very very fit.
