Caught up with Big Mikey H to run the 19km Centennial route with the usual 3 marathon pace stretches. Reached Woollhara gates in 21.25, then ran the second loop of Centennial in 12:08 (i.e. much quicker than usual) struggling to stay with BMH who was about 10 seconds in front. Finished that at 47:58 feeling again as though I'm struggling with pace at the moment. It seems that what I've gained in strength and endurance I've lost in pace. Felt strong towards the end finishing in 1:14:43 - 3:55 per km pace overall.
Good to get another strong session in before C2S but I'm feeling very tired so will rest for the next couple of days then concentrate more on speed.
Followed up with a Tiger massage - left achilles has been getting stiffer and he certainly worked on that.
Then walked back to the office to find York Street cut off by police tape. A jumper was standing on the top of one of the tall buildings. Quite a crowd were watching but when he started to shuffle closer to the edge I had to turn and walk away. 10 seconds later I heard numerous sharp intakes of breath and a loud thud. Quite shaken up by it.

Hey Tom,
I saw the police and the tape, and people looking up, but the only guy I could see was the guy cleaning/repairing that big white AWA thingy.
There are some things in life you just don't need to see.
No good mate - no good at all
