Sunday morning with the boys

Met up with Durante, Mike, Guy, Serg and Steven Thursten in Centennial. After completing the 6k loop Serg brought us on 7.5k loop that incorporated more trail/grass. We all really liked the loop so much so we completed it twice. We kept the pace at 4.39 avg and increased the pace slightly for the 6k loop and with about 3k left Serg increased the pace again (3.50 avg) as we tackled the long drag (1.5k) up towards Wollarha gates, Serg dropped out (citing chafing problems) as we crossed the road to push the last 700m, Steven showed his class (he's run 13.38 for 5k - no joke he's run over the top of Mottram on several occasions) and Durante and I ran together about 5 yards back as we powered up the hill. Glad to get to the top and shortly afterward we were joined by Mike as we approach the Oxford Street gates. All up 27k with an avg pace of 4.34.
