Leave the house at quarter to six am focused on having a new P.B. My current P.B. stands at 2:09 for 27kms.
My first two kilometers are uncomfortable because of the pain on my upper thigh, the muscle has to warm up before I can gather speed - 2kms, 11mins. I gradually gain speed thereafter - 10kms (47mins), 15kms (1:11), 21kms (1:40), 27kms (2:08) - so i have a new P.B. - that's good motivation to push me through the remaining week before Stan chart Marathon.
