Hard 50 minutes

A pretty flat run with the only hill right at the start as I ran up towards the Uni of NSW, but then there is a long downhill after that towards Anzac Pde.
I then ran down Anzac Pde until getting to the Maroubra shops and turning around and coming back almost the same way except going up Anzac Pde further until getting to Moore Park and going down Alison Rd to home.

Lots of up and down footpaths and traffic lights to slow me down. Very hard to keep a rythym going on this run. But it is mostly flat which is why I ran this way.

Ran 11.6ks in the 50 mins. Average pace of 4:18 per klm. A warm 19 degrees when I started with a bit of a breeze blowing.

Feeling good for Sunday's half marathon.

Edit: Goal for the half is 84:25 exactly 4min ks or beat Blue Dogs PB of 85:37 if not. Flat course.

What's the goal for Sunday? Is it a flattish course?

Good luck for the weekend.
The Dog's PB should be in the bag.

Actually, you have to run 84:23.4 to run 4:00/km SF ;)

You should go well. Good luck.

The Dog will be fretting :-)
