BBQ Stakes - slow, but not forgotten

Turned up for the BBQ Stakes again today, after a little break, keen to go hard, but did not want to flog myself mentally as well by going off my 'correct' handicap time of 9 minutes. Left on scratch, and worked hard, enjoying the 'Podrunner' download mix today rather more than yesterday, which incorporated a mix of African drumming and some vocalisations. It helped my legs turning over at an increased cadence and to dull the groin pain after the first kilometre or thereabouts.
Finished in 35 minutes, a tad under 6 minute kilometres, which is laughable except that I worked really hard and got faster as I went along. Pleased to have run, and not as stiff as I was after yesterdays flat 6k effort at Tuggeranong. Go figure.
Meeting Aki tomorrow for a smoothie or coffee or Pho. A cold night is predicted, so Lucy the wonder Cat will no doubt cuddle close tonight ~ significant as tomorrow is her 21st!!!
Happy Birthday Lucy!!
Happy, happy Birthday Lucy from all of us in the Cirque household (including the very grumpy Bella, who doesn't share her felicitations lightly).
Happy Birthday Lucy for this momentous milestone.
Hope you are nice and warm and snuggled up indoors and getting plenty of Loving Attention.
