Day 154 - Ran a mile without stopping - WITH the flu?


Today I was only planning on running to the end of the street and back, just to keep my hand in, or feet wet or whatever metaphor applies to running, because I have a nasty cold and was not planning on going out at all.

However some drugs kicked in and the sun went down so I decided fresh air was good, so a run may clear the pipes and get me going. I took off and slowed right down expecting to be shot at any time and ready to turn about, instead I got to the corner and saw that the traffic was backed up and I felt good so kept going, knowing the park was not an option so it was time to do the mile, but I felt good. So good I did not speed up, did not walk and did not tire out at all.

Slower than yesterday by 20 odd seconds but yesterday felt worse and walked the steep part of the St Andrews rise, which today I barely even felt.

Odd.

Distance: 1.57 km
Time: 9:14
Average Speed: 10.2 kph
Soundtrack: U2 - Mysterious Ways/Jesus Jones - Who? Where? Why?/Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart (And Tacky by Weird Al while cooling down)
