Fi and I met at Friends of Mine in Swan St, with no real goals in mind we just headed towards GE and the river.
We took the river path towards Walmer St and marvelled at how high the river had been during the floods the week before.
Met a group of elderly gents at the drink fountain at Walmer and vowed to be like them when we hit our 60's.
The Boulevard was running paradise this morning, the weather was perfect, the air was clean and it felt like we were in the bush, not the city. We had planned on cutting back to Richmond through the city from the first bridge, but didn't want to leave so we stayed up there.
Did some extra's around Galatea Point and at one stage Fi commented, 'you know, we won't be able to go this fast during the marathon'. Whoops, I was having so much fun I hadn't noticed we were under 5 minute k's.
We stuck to the River and made our way back to GE. We only stopped because we were hungry.
One to file away in the memory bank for sure for when the going gets tough in the next couple of months.
Dist 15.5kms
Went to the Kent Hotel in the afternoon and drank two bottles of wine, will be interesting to see how I pull up tomorrow.
Oh, and I picked out my new road bike.
