Sun 1 Jan 2006 - First run for the year

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday it was stinking hot reaching about 43 degrees C and today it's been overcast and raining. First run for the year and not an early one. Headed out at 8.44 pm to be precise, that's what Mr. Garmin recorded. At this time it was dusk, cool and light misty rain falling. A real change from the last few days. I was even thinking that it was a bit too fresh, wouldn't mind it being a bit warmer. All in all though the conditions were just right. Run stats

I was thinking about extending my run along the Werribee River but thought better of it, as it was getting dark and there's no street lighting down there. My best option was turning off at the Riverband Historical Park and running along the streets to home. Well, that's what I did. Considering I hadn't really ran that many k's this week I felt really refreshed and strong. As the split chart shows, every split was getting faster. Does that mean if I ran a further 10-12 km each split would have been faster - somehow I don't think it works like that. Stats as of 1 Jan 2006
