April 26 - Ivanhoe to the City

Tonights run was a lot of a struggle.

Running from Ivanhoe, straight down Heidelberg Road to Fairfield and then cutting down alongside Merri Creek to Dights Falls. I then came up around Victoria Park, along Johnson Street, and finally down Nicholson Street and the Exhibition Gradens to LaTrobe Street.

I couldn't get into a comfortable rhythym at all, I think the back pack was a bit heavy for the run. I even got to the point at Victoria Park where I contemplated stopping and catching a train the rest of the way. I persevered however and made it into the city, although not full of running, at least not feeling any worse than I did at the start of the run.

All up it was around 9kms in 48 minutes, which is a bit slower than I wanted but not too bad all the same.
