Thursday April 9

The morning after the night before and everything ached for the first 1/2 km. My legs were not going to get drawn into anything fast, but they felt better than I had expected. While Jane and Trish surged ahead, I enjoyed a nice, gentle 3km to the Causeway with Viv at around 5.45-5.50 pace. There we parted ways as she continued around the river while Trish (who was powering along despite our tough run the night before) and I turned around for the run back to Mends Street and coffee. We ultimately picked up the pace and ended up doing 5.30 pace, which felt okay (must have been the scent of tea encouraging me to speed up)
