The Friday 6am Shuffle

With CR Drinks this evening, the choice was either run in the morning or run at lunchtime. I detest running around St Leonards, so the morning it was.

After a particularly restless night's sleep, forced myself up at about 5:45, dealt with the pets, got dressed and managed to get out the door at about 6. Felt pretty beaten up and pace was very slow in coming. Followed my usual route of heading east along Victoria Road down to Huntley's Point and back. I talked myself into rolling along a bit more actively from the 3k point onwards and finally started to feel half decent at about 4.5km, and finished pleased with the effort at 6.08km in 30 minutes flat.

The morning runs after speed sessions are tough.
