Out at lunch with Charlie and Andrew over to the North side. Charlie was strangely energetic, pushed the pace and dragged us along almost every hill available he could see in the lower North Shore area. Felt a little stiff to start, but legs warmed up nicely.

The run finished off with a loop around Kirribili and a somewhat lukewarm surge back across the bridge. 12.7km covered in bang on 60 minutes. 4:45 pace, but consider the elevation it does not warrant a recovery run.

Add to the 7km jog into work, that's almost 20k for the day.

Considering racing Sunday as a training run for the Sri Chinmoy at CP....
