Friday, 14 March 2008

Was going to be abhorrently hot again today, so ran into work. Was 26 degrees when I started at 9:00 am and 28 degrees when I finished

Was nice to run down St Georges Rd for a change as it was mostly downhill. Started to do things a bit harder when coming off St G's rd and heading west along Park Street with not much protection from the sun and a bit of a headwind

Stopped at Princes Park for a quick drink and splash the face with cold water. Some 25 minutes had elapsed on the watch. Managed to struggle through along Royal Parade but started to feel a bit stronger and was starting to surge a little bit

Getting to the big roundabout was awesome as it was mostly downhill into the CBD grid from there. Got stopped at a few red lights and one block out from work i decided to walk the rest of the way. Even without the walk, I would have completed about 18 minutes from the corner of Park and Royal Pde to work which was a few minutes quicker than anything I have accomplished running the other way. Some food for thought there

So all up 42 minutes, which was also a bit quicker than going in the opposite direction

TOTAL DISTANCE = about 9 kilometres
