I met up with John at lunchtime today.
Considering that last week I worked four of my five lunchbreaks, working over in the evenings too. Yesterday I worked another lunchbreak, so I was owed some time back. That's why I said to John, "Do you fancy a longer run today?"
So, we planned a 9km-ish run that turned out to be just over 10km. The best part of the first 6kms were farm tracks with no road in sight. John passed comment on how good my route was, considering that this was his old stompping ground for so long and he never knew these particular paths existed. To be honest, neither did I - I found them using Google Maps.
It was an enjoyable run. As always it's good having a running buddy. About 1km from the end, John picked up the pace. My currently fitness level did not allow me to match him, so I simply maintained my existing pace and saw John go 100 metres ahead of me.
Start Time: 1:28 pm
Duration: 49:49 Park Loop
Distance: 10.03 km (6.23 miles)
Average speed: 12.08 kmh (7.51 mph)
Average pace: 4:58 per km (8:00 per mile)
Heart rate: HRavg 166, HRmax 175, and 801kcals

Mike/John,
I wish I could have been there. Not sure if i could have kept the pace but it would have been fun.
I need to do some longer runs to see what I would be like.
Sounds like you had a good time.
Sounds like your getting back there Mike. Patience is hard, eh!
Good that you two keep up your traditional meet-ups...
