It's good to be training on a Tuesday again - getting a third run in Thursday will be much easier than getting motivated on a Friday night. It was also the first training run with Running Cat in a while - it's great to be training with RC again! I tagged along with her to the Hobo's running club, who run along the water from Newport down to Williamstown and back on Tuesdays - a 7km run. I turned around the halfway mark at 22:08 and got back at around 45:30. I was reasonably happy with the time and would hope to see improvement on this each week.
Here's the route:
A really lovely guy ran with us the whole time - we kept up with the group until the halfway mark where we dropped back a little. I can't remember his name, which is annoying. Running Cat pulled ahead a little at the end and I dropped back a bit, but he continued to run with me. He asked if I had much left in my legs with about 700m to go, and I said I didn't, but he could race to the end. He said that no, if he does that I'll back off and I was going to keep up the pace we were running to the end - he was so right! I would have slowed up as soon as he ran up ahead.
It definitely seems to be a friendly and supportive running club - great find from RC!
