The group did an ‘accidental’ extended longer run today, over 20k. I stayed on board till around 16 before peeling off home after a massive hill. Adding my run to the subway, it made for around 17k today, which I was happy with, considering my plan was only calling for 7k today :). Still felt bad for leaving early this morn. Wound up running through some trails too which was nice. Someone else took a nice pic of that bit here.

You sound like a guy who says, “yeah, it was meant to be just a short practice run, no idea how l managed the whole marathon”. 
Lol, well I showed up thinking it was to be another 14k run like past weeks, but the run leader had the idea of pushing us further. The marathon training folks loved it! I was trying to keep a pace under 6:00/km for most of it, running with a mate. If I slowed l may have pulled off the full distance. Live and learn.

Chap at front looks like he has a moon boot on one foot?
I believe that fellow has a birth defect and needs to wear both an arm and leg sleeve. He’s quite seasoned and faster than many others in the group
Crikey, that's humbling. Least he's not hardcore running on a broken leg though.
Haha, yes even he has his limits 
Not what you're looking for?

Thanks Sandra. The weather was cooler yesterday which helped. The trail bit was quite nice though a little short compared with all the concrete and construction zones
