7 AM
Run 1:31:00 [3] 18.0 km (5:03 / km)
Yet another truncated night (but the last really bad one), and was still half-asleep when I started running; ground out a fairly unconvincing 90 minutes although it did improve a little as it went on. Felt progressively better through the day, though; I'm functioning on adrenalin at the moment and the finish line is near...
Some years back we had a workshop in Auckland for which the venue was the premises of the Employers' and Manufacturers Association. On one of the days a few of us were eating lunch outside (it was a nice day) when one of the EMA staff came out to say that their chief executive had complained about us spoiling the view out his window (or words to that effect). I was tempted to say that we'd stop eating lunch outside his window when he stopped driving in bus lanes (he'd been quoted in that day's 'Herald' in a piece on public transport improvements as saying that he liked the bus lanes because they gave him somewhere he could drive quickly if he was running late), but thought that would probably get us thrown out altogether, thought better of it, and decided he was the sort of arrogant so-and-so you'd expect to find in charge of an employer organisation. I mention all of this because he's now at the centre of a political storm in New Zealand after making some very politically incorrect remarks about women in the workplace:
