Day 9

It's more of a mental struggle each day than a physical one. I look for excuses and mostly by listening to critiques/suggestions which are intended to help but doesn't actually align with my goal. It takes about 30 minutes or more to psych up to get out the door, but I feel fantastic (mentally) when I get to the home stretch and know that I did it anyway.

People don't understand the goal and to change the method but MY method is the message, to bastardise the quote.

Ran all the way to the steep part of St Andrews, all of Watling, half Mt Eden and 3/4 St Leonards. Longest running start so far, getting all the way round in one go is still some way off, I may never do that due to the steep parts.

Persistence is the goal, not distance, time or speed.

Distance: 1.61 km
Time: 10:05
Average Speed: 9.6 kph

The soundtrack is now a random mix of 28 songs that I have run to over the past few weeks in this project and the training lead up.

356 days to go.
