Day 42 - new best time

Running later after a full and hearty midday meal makes quite the difference. I'm still shattered and out of breath after each run but I do better and last longer before the mental/physical barrier hits home.

Stopped on the steep part of St A's but felt like I could have made it up there, but stopped out of habit and out of being afraid of wearing myself out too early. Part physical, part mental. Ran to the end of Watling and then from the first bus stop on Mt Eden all the way home.

Knew I was making good time so I pushed through the pain in my lungs and kept going.

Best time by one second, though the previous best time was aided by a 21 second pause to tie my shoelace so, probably much better in real terms.

Distance: 1.65 km (yet it's the same every time I run the block)
Time: 8:19
Average Speed: 11.9
Soundtrack: Fluke - Atom Bomb/P!nk - Blow Me/INXS - Suicide Blonde
