Run home from work today. Got to be home by 6 as Kylie has a meeting

It was warm outside when I started and pretty soon in it was evident that I should have gone to the loo before I left. About 20 mins into the run there is a toilet (Princes Park) so had to wait until then

Started a bit late but hopefully had just enough time. And then got stopped at every single red light on the way. Very frustrating. More frustrating was that my stopwatch stopped at nine minutes for some reason - 14 minutes into my run. First time its done that. Must have knocked it or something

But most frustrating was that my heart rate was through the roof and I seemed to be surging rather than slow running. Maybe this was why my run was so crap on Sunday and why this run was not at all enjoyable

Got to the toilet at Princes Park and it was disgusting in there. You don't want to know why. Started up again on my run and felt good for a little while. Got to the Merri Parade roundabout and started the long trek up St Georges Rd

Looked at the watch and had to weigh up fact I had only run 35 minutes against the fact I only had 11 minutes to get home. So waited for tram to come - and it gets stopped at every red light on the way. On reflection I would probably have just made it home around the same time if I had just kept on running. Yet more frustration

Another all nighter tonight to try to finish Presentation Night stuff. It has been haunting me every night for the last fortnight some nights up until 2:00 am doing it, but the end result will be well worth it

TOTAL DISTANCE = about 7 kilometres
