I ran with Rachelle, who ended up with a new 5k pb by ~2.15. She's happy! But she made me run a lot faster than I thought I would have to. Congratulations also to Thea who ran a fast time.

BBQ Stakes 6.0k Wednesday
Geoff Moore ~27:30
Roger Pilkington ~29.40
Not my best run, but I ran way ahead of schedule for the first 4.5k, then had to slow right down to a jog for the last 1.5k. Yet, over-all the time was more than two minutes faster than last week! Still sore after all these k's.

How to run faster
Thanks Kate. Cheers!

Quite apt this week. It is a rare treat for me to be running a-head of schedule.
