Vanmiddag een korte #duurloop tijdens mijn #lunch break #thuiswerkdag. Er stond een vies koud guur (tegen)windje maar blij dat ik het gedaan heb 😊. @hardlopers.bsky.social #loopmaatjes #nevernotrunning #keeponrunning #roadtohannover #runningman #runisfun #hardlopenisleuk #corospace #runthecity

A brisk 7°C this morning, but a decent first run after #MelbMara. Not far, only 5km, but at a pace close to what I'll need if I want to crack 1:50 when I #RunTheCity across the Tasman. Got to set #running goals.

Passing Victoria Park on the bus and I can see preparations are under way for #RunTheCity tomorrow. Tomorrow morning it will be a packed with tired people who have finished their nominated #running distance.

Right-o, off to bed to be properly rested for #RunTheCity tomorrow. Early wake up for the ferry across to Devonport for the start.

Seems all the Auckland ferries have been commandeered for the D-Day like operation getting people to the start of #RunTheCity. Not a bad way to travel TBH.

Well overdue for #coffee so stopping in Parnell en-route on a family mission. Going straight for the underestimated caffeine kick from a Chemex. Washed Costa Rica: low acidity and a subtle nutty flavour (almost candlenut).

Rehydration continues... #RunTheCity

And done - 1:50:44, so 44 seconds outside my target time but faster than Melbourne. Hills and humidity probably got the better of me as the climb up Shelley Beach Rd (17km) was really starting to hurt. Still, made it to the end to finish strong. #RunTheCity

🔆 Good Morning, New Yorkers: RISE EARLY. RUN THE CITY. 🗽

Parnell seems much the same, but also different. Mix of discrete, established money and 20-somethings starting out in the world. But the younger set probably living in new build apartments rather than run-down housing stock (mostly gentrified now). It's still a good density though. #RunTheCity

... and onward... a short stroll through a small native bush reserve. The type of shortcut only those familiar with the area tend to know about. #RunTheCity

Not normally a Steinlager drinker, but it's against my religion not to drink free beer. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Lions Nathan (ie. Kirin) I get to smash a post #RunTheCity breakfast beer!

Start line vibes for #RunTheCity.

Phase 3 of #TravelDay completed. Cleared immigration, checked in to accom, collected race pack for #RunTheCity. Been on the ground for 3 hours and enjoying live music and beers with old mates at 95bfm. Good times! 😂

The thing I love is about this city is that I can always discover something new even in places I've been hundreds of times. #runthecity

Did the 11Km Bridge Traverse today - 1:44:56 - pretty chuffed with that
