Ran along the river, first 4k a warm up listening to the last 2 episodes of The Archers then a faster 5k (30.13)
Reached my official Garmin goal of 2013km for this year (+ the 120 or so kilometers that didn't get registered for one reason or another) with 1k to spare.

Garmin site won't upload at the moment but had a good run last night. (Have just worked out how to see my running history on the watch itself so don't need to upload to know how far I ran.) Along the canals to Karin, taking time to do some hill repeat circuits at the various bits where this is possible.  Then back by a meandering street route, finishing in the Wilhelminapark with a fastish mile (4 circuits of the sportfield) and then back home via a detour to make up the 2 hours I'd promised myself.  (Also saw that my mile was at 5.51 m/p/k so pleased with that.)

Windy but (too) warm

Start 9.04

 
Set out wearing my light jacket as I thought it would rain at some point and also as protection against the wind but it was actually soon too warm and I took it off towards the end. Bit of a plod-about-town.  My right calf just above the ankle is niggling a wee bit and there was a strong wind which pushed my speed right back.  Took in some new streets and learned more about how the different areas I already know join up.  Came across the Satadurah clubhouse.
