July 21 - Sprint to Richmond

Well not really a sprint, rather a quicker run to Richmond from work. Had a good friend's birthday at the Mountain Goat Brewery, so I decided to run there.

Anyway it was a quick start along Heidelberg Road, although still had a bit of fatigue in the legs after my long run on Wednesday night. Got to Chandler Highway in good time and turned south along Chandler Highway, and still feeling pretty good.

Then it was up the Princess Street Hill, and I really struggled up there, it's a longish climb and reasonably steep, and my legs felt pretty heavy.

From here I couldn't work the spring back into my step too well. I followed Church Street from Kew Junction to Barkers Road, from where I headed down towards the Yarra. I then followed the Yarra from Barkers Road to North Street.

All up it was an 8km run completed in 36minutes at 4:30 pace.
