New Record

I'm working nights tonight and out tomorrow night, so I thought I'd make the most of my afternoon and go to the gym. I started on the treadmill as normal and as soon as I started running I knew I wanted to try and beat my distance record and so aimed for 10km (as there is a fundraising 10km run next weekend for the Kings Cross Steelers to help pay for Bingham Cup expenses).
My previous distance record was 7km, which I had only managed once previously (in February). I managed this in 39 minutes and 58 seconds. I was just going to go on to 7.5km, but was distracted when I reached this, so went on to 8km and then pushed it to 8.5km (45 minutes and 59 seconds). I walked for 0.5km and then ran for the last 1km to the 10km mark which I reached, disappointingly, at a few seconds over the 1 hour mark.
I was really pleased, but my legs were exhausted and I walked for a couple of minutes to wind down, then did some stretches. I didn't do any other exercises and went back to the changing room and had a shower.
In the shower I noticed the guy opposite hadn't closed his curtain fully and I recognised him as having played around before with me in the showers (no touching). He followed me into the sauna, but there was company for a few minutes. When we were alone I asked if he wanted to come back to mine and he said yes.
We came back and "christened" the lower hallway of the flat. He has a boyfriend, which is fine as he wasn't boyfriend material for me, though I wouldn't say no to a return match.
Off to work in a couple of minutes for a night shift, at least it is only one night.
