10km in 44:08,

still have yet to crack sub 44 for this route! but delighted with tonights run, it was the best I've felt on a run for many months,

I didn't cycle to work sat & sunday & I slept in yesterday & today, ate 10 bagels in 2 days & walked into town & back an hour before the run. aside from that, I don't know why I felt so good on the run, it was if  I could go as fast as I wanted & I'd never get tired.

tonight run was the reason why I run, to get a run like that. That's the reward, it just felt so great!

I could go on but I'm tired & need to sleep but I could've easily knocked a minute off that with people with me tonight & a bolder attitude on my part. I knew when I hit the 2nd time check 11:35 that I was on for a good run, then I got faster where I normally slow down, 16:05 at time check 3, 20:15 @ T3 too

24:40 at T4, but 30:14 then at joyces - that was disappointing  - also right about then the pace dropped a bit & my back began to ache, like it occasionally does when running - odd...

37:47 at dr mannix - a full 3/4 of a minute slower then a time before but I put the boot down (wasn't even trying that hard really) & got to within a 2 second pb (I actually pb'd the route tonight only I bumped into a guy on the corner of joyces slowing me down about 3-5 secs) so I clearly sped up in that last mile...

the weather has been outstanding these days though, dry but quite cold/fresh 5-7degrees... aim to run on friday now...

& no discomfort on achilles at all - the mind boggles...
