Today I decided to do a 10km run but not go too crazy on pace because I am still feeling the effects of the long midweek 21km on Thursday. Glorious morning quite crisp even at 8:30 when I headed out.
10.27km in 49:06 (4:46min/km).
The route itself includes some decent climbs. The view from the top of Mt. Eden never ceases to amaze me. Some tourists from the US at the top - the view was apparently "bootiful" :)
Looking back in my running history I ran the same route back in April 2008 and my time was 52:15. A good sign of some improvement in fitness and running strength. The hills don't kick my butt quite so much now. Could also be keeping a more consistent pace helps. This is probably my favourite hill route.
Did the run listing to pretty much the album "Riverhead" by New Zealand group "Goldenhorse". This sort of feel-good kiwi music is a nice backdrop to a run.
