September 27 - A Morning Run!

Due to evening commitments, I had to run this morning to ensure I got my run in today. Now I'm not a morning running person at the best of times, however with the mild weather today was bareable.

I ran from East Melbourne, along Victoria Parade, up Hoddle Street and along Langridge and Gipps Streets to the Yarra River. From there I joined the Yarra Trail through Collingwood Children's Farm, to Dights Falls, and along the Capitol City Trail to Fairfield Park.

I was feeling okay when I emerged onto Heidelberg Road for the 3km road side stretch, but a fair bit of head wind made this section a real grind. All good for building strength to back end my races though I guess.

All up it was a 9km run completed in 51 minutes at a pace of 5.40.
