it was 'take one of your clients' kids to run day' - what could go wrong?? well i'll tell you what -she's only 15 and she's only run 4k before. BUT !!!! she ran it in 14 minutes! good grief! i dragged christine out with me - told her about the 4k distance, but neglected the 14 minutes part. her dad brought her down to the tennis courts and planned on meeting us up at duffy's to see how she was making out. i told him we usually get up there within 26 or 27 minutes. hmmm! i guess both me and christine subconsciously decided we didn't want miss hayley thinking we were 'the old ladies', so we picked it up a bit. A BIT!! for the love of pete, we were at duffy's in 24 minutes! argh! we kept her going to the 9.1k mark before we turned around, and then brought her back to duffy's. we left her with her dad, and made our way back to the tennis courts at a much more sensible pace! as for miss hayley - great job girlie - you ran 9k today! and you ran it well. as for me and christine - well, it almost killed us!!
and so this gave me a total of just under 44 miles. next week picks it back up again and we have vulture bait 50k on saturday. should be great - lots of people going, including a special guest appearance by rita and harry! better make sure i have my heart on . . .
