4k. Finally.

For the last few weeks I've been attempting (and failing) a 4 km circuit in the middle of town.

This morning I woke up and felt like another go, despite a 45 minute run yesterday.

Success.  I ran (well jogged really) the entire 4km loop!  First time running outside with the Garmin and I found that the feedback really helped me keep going.  The constant availability of pace also helped me keep a steady pace throughout.

Finished with an average pace of 6:44/km and actually managed to keep it steady throughout, rather than my prior practice of dying at the end:

My eventual hope is to get to a 6:00/km or better pace for this course...  I had been feeling like it was an impossible hope, but now I'm feeling a bit more optimistic.
