8 AM
warm up/down 12:00 [3]
shoes: bright pink
Still doing the last 1/8 of course to psych myself into getting all the hills done.
Park Run (Callaghan) 36:38 [4] 5.0 km (7:20 / km)
shoes: bright pink
Perfect weather but if I could have had one extra thing it would have been air temp of about 4 warmer - still cool to the lungs.
Back to the "original" course.
Start-steps Rainforest walk -10:25 Felt really ploddy but no sign of stopping - good. Don't seem to be able to expel all the air in my lungs.Was very quickly by myself - which was a surprise. I usually have at least some around me - but none within sight from the top bus stop. I knew there was a mum and daughter behind and just the tail runners - so well off - or maybe the vols will get an early mark today.
Time pretty much same as last time, so I was disappointed but happy it was clean.
Steps - cone 7:36 (18:00) Absolutely same as last time. Didn't know and thought I was going OK
Cone - steps Rainforest Walk 6:52 (24:54)- again almost identical time, but thought it was OK if I could manage to put effort into the end section. The promised wet section I avoided the faster runners on return - just as well they just steamed through the path.
Steps - Finish - 11:44 (36:38) Happy to be under 37 again and felt it was much improved time. Managed to reel in a guy from about the last km and we traded places until the end. Just perfect today - and a surprising time (for recent runs).Felt much better in the good parts and there seemed to be fewer bad parts today. Given the busy week we've had - pretty pleased.
A few seconds here and there plus a 30 sec improvement in the last section - starting to feel a little happier.
