Saturday Slog

Clairie told me she wanted to do a slow 2 hours Saturday - sounded like a good idea to me. So at 6am we set off from The Regatta and ran to the Ship Inn to meet up with the Brisbane Running Buddies who were starting there at 6.30am. A 5k trip we just needed to sit on 6 minute pace to get there in time but were way faster than that, doing it in 26mins. Of course we were both blaming eachother for setting the pace :-)

From there it was out to the West End ferry and back, a 10.5k round trip. Those leading the way seemed to be in a hurry and the pace was only a little slower than our 'warm up'. Most of the gang then continued on to do a Story Bridge loop (6.5k) but the pace and the heat had got to me. I wanted to keep running but slower and somewhere cool. Clairie, Lizzle and I formed a little breakaway group and headed into the Botanical Gardens to ran around in the shade for a while - really slowly. Felt like naughty little girls :-)
