Day 160 - 4 km = Longest distance/time yet and no exhaustion stops.


Max asked me to pop up to Baker's Delight and get some rolls since I was running anyway. I balked at the thought because it's well over twice my usual distance and twice the run from the Village I do once or twice a week. It's also all uphill on the way there, but at least downhill on the way back.

Then my - never say no - attitude kicked in - the one where I regret things I had passed up in the past so decided to take things on more often, especially things that take me out of my comfort zone.

Ran to the Balmoral lights and waited a minute for the change, all uphill no stops 1 km. Ran to the
Village no stops also up hill - another 1 km. Stopped at Bakers Delight for maybe 2-3 minutes to get rolls for homemade burger dinner and two finger buns for the kids. Ran back to Balmoral Road without stopping, waited another minute for the lights to change. Ran from Balmoral Road to home without stopping. Music certainly helps with pacing and distraction.

Distance: 4.0 k.m.
Time: 23:05
Average Speed: 10 kph
Soundtrack: Faves Mix - incl: Happy/Cult of Personality/Real, Real, Real/Glamour Boys/Open Letter to a Landlord/Ways to Go/Biting The Bullet
