Day 4: 40 min, and some to spare

Disappointment first: I didn't manage to do an evening run thanks to a downpour that had me seek shelter at my boy's school. Left office early to pick him up from school but the rain had other plans.
So, at 5.30am the alarm went off as usual and was out of the house 5.40-something to start running at 5.50am. Here I must admit, that looooooong, winded hill that leads o Uthiru gives me the creeps. The damn hill doesn't end in good time nor is it friendly for an easy run! I figured out a way of doing 20-min without taking that hill all the way: just after the river, I run back for about three minutes, saving me 6 minutes or so of the hill! In all, I did 41:16.38 (Stop watch!).
The pace was similar to yesterday's, faster and surer. I felt the muscles wail from a distance and assumed they need some good, focused stretching and they will be as good as new.
When I got back to the house, I did a few stretches and that was it.
In total, there were 17 runners; and Jaymo was not among them.
On the food and eating front, so far so good though I could not resist some junk last evening (a handful of crisps), some milk tea and a cob of maize. No worry about the ugali - took just enough and a lot of vegetables then a half an egg or so.

Cheers fellaz.
