Ran all of the above segments either on grass hill, cycle path or surrounding Burradoo streets.  Over the moon that I left VP struggling to keep up!

3:0km in 23:03
Avg. 7:41m/k
TE 2.5 Maintaining

1.5km in 11:55
Avg. 7:57m/k
TE 2.5 Maintaining

3:0km in 23:33

I was extremely pleased with myself this morning!  Not in a very long time have I felt what it's like to run almost effortlessly while at the same time enjoying the light rain and, best of all, staying ahead of VP!
