Run Update 18.02.2017

Another 1hr run done! I'm slowly inching my way towards my goal. Today I managed 9.4k in an hour. It was just 110 meters further than last week but in terms of effort it felt much harder. The temperature is slowly creeping up as well and throughout the run I was feeling thirsty. Took more breaks than normal just to hydrate though the plan was just 2 breaks - one after each 20 minute interval of running.

Again, my location services was spotty and again it seems to have gone off after about 300 meters into the run. so it shows my whole route as being from home to halfway down kothari road. I need to investigate. I cross-checked the tracked distance on google maps and 9.4k seems about right so the spotty route is really not a big deal I suppose.

I know 9.4k sounds like I'm only 600 meters off my goal. But this is not counting the break time. By race standards, the actual time (or gun time or chip time) I took to cover today's distance of 9.4k would be more like 64 or 65 minutes. Next weekend's 10K race will tell me exactly how much closer I've gotten to my goal.
