Mid-week hour and a half

Well, 1h 31m 35.41s, anyway, for 18.71km (4:53 per km pace). Added in the extra to make up for walking (briskly!) up the stairs from Hickon Road and the stairs up from the Rocks to the Harbour Bridge.

Beautiful clear cool morning in Sydney. I was up at 6:00am (a sleep-in nowadays) and after pottering around the house getting ready for 20 minutes, rolled out the door to head to work.

Headed west along Victoria Road, did a loop through Huntley's Point, over the Gladesville Bridge, through Drummoyne, over the Iron Cove Bridge, through Rozelle, over the Anzac Bridge, through Pyrmont into the city, along Hickson Road, up the staircase into The Rocks, up on to and over the Harbour Bridge, through North Sydney and up the Pacific Highway to St Leonards, with a little loop down Christie Street and back along the railway line to put in an extra couple of minutes.

Settled into a rhythm pretty quickly and once through Drummoyne felt warmed up and fairly strong through the rest of the run. The new diet is certainly paying dividends in the mornings, and I feel that I'm certainly getting better value out of my sessions (as predicted by my dietician, funnily enough), not to mention losing weight and body fat.

Ran in 1090s with my orthotics this morning and had no issues with my right foot. Left knee was bit grumbly for a while but seemed to clear up fairly quickly.
