So after months of jogging on the treadmill in Auckland, I decided to give running outside a go. Outside is my preference, time goes quicker, my legs seem to ache less and I definitely run "faster", but I've always felt uncomfortable running alongside a road. Well no more. First off it's not just any jogging track, it's the path the runs parallel to Auckland harbour, so tonight the moon was shinning off the water and you got glimpses of Mt Rangitoto on the way out, whereas on the way back you had the port on the left and Sky tower in all it's might on the horizon on the right.
When all gets accounted for however, I only just beat my best time, so I am slightly disappointed. BUT this is the first run I think I truly enjoyed and definitely my best run of all runs.
