Under pressure 1 hour 50 minutes

6.00am, 1 hour 50 minutes, Rushcutters Bay - Watsons Bay - North Bondi - Bondi Junction - Rushcutters Bay

I had a matter in court listed at 9.15 am, so I had to leave the office at 9am and working backwards, I had to leave home at 6am for this run. Nothing like a bit of time pressure to keep me on edge for the whole run. If you were wondering, no it isn't a criminal case and I'm not the accused and out on bail at large in the community.

I maintained a steady pace, and compared with the same run last week, I was 2-3 minutes slower in the first hour to Dover Heights after a few hills. This surprised me and I thought my watch was lying to me. But I didn't tank in the second hour and I was pacing myself better this week. Funny what a few 3 hour training runs does for your endurance and pacing.

Magnificent morning for a run, overcast, fresh and being out in the elements sensation.

So I get to the office at 8.50am and check out the court list on the supreme court website and discovered the matter is listed at 12.00pm, not 9.15am.
