worked that one...

Today, I went out with Paddy. The plan was to circle the Palace 4 times. Tat would give us a total of 26km. First lap was clockwise and therefore very crowded. Next lap, we ran with Wendy, still @ 5min/km speed. She is strong runner and had no problems to stay with us. Next lap still @ 5min pace but I already developed first signs of dehydration. Had some energy drink with me but was sweating a lot. Last lap and Paddy hit the pedal. We were cruising @ 3:50 pace but after 1k I had to settle for 4:30 pace instead. He took off and I could see him running a strong 19-23km stretch. We met again at the start point and jogged home. Was a great run with you, Paddy. Wish we could do this more often.
