Day 256 - 2km in the shade 2k in the sun - great time posted

I ran Up my own Road to the end and waited for a car to pass then settled into a run all the way up Empire and then Coronation, down Selwyn and Buckley all the way to Mt Albert Road where it meets Hillsborough Road before I walked at all. Then the hilly parts of Mt Albert are quite steep so I walked a quarter or less of that part and then ran 95% of Mt Eden Road, though stopped a few times to walk in the shadier spots as the sun was out in force, however I pushed myself to run further and longer and then apart from a small stitch just before home did not stop on the down hill final kilometer.

Switched from the Audiobook I had been listening to back to music and found that especially on the first few kms this made quite a difference.
