4th day, i survive another solid session

Today decided to do opposite, walk to 400m mark of the 2km canal route, from home. Start at slope peak, run under bridge toward 3m, pacing around a comfortable 40 sec/100 m, for 1st 800 m of the routes. Find the slopes killing my tired thighs as it is already my 4th consecutive run over as many days, finally cleared the last one, toward the flat part toward YHS end of the canal. I overtook some slow coaches ladies but nothing special as i steadily pace toward the end without over exertion. Finally was overtaken at 1.6km mark by a young man, and again at 2km by another, but maintain the 100 m distance with the 2nd man. Push the final 100 m only, manages a RECORD today ! 18 min 55 sec, my first sub 20 min's 2.4km, i knew i can make it, but could be due to opposite direction and not jog warm up 3.5km today, so i am fresher, think i would be able to lower this mark if i totally fresh for the day and maximum push but i think it is still early days . It better to pace down slower and enjoy the entire process. I finish the 2.4km, and then rested for 200m through walk to get my breathe, and then slow jog back home fromYHS opposite direction. Head wind, but i perserves , almost walking pace, but continue jogging. Luckily no one jog pass me or else i might be demoralised. Reached the mosque and make a sharp turn, and finish the whole session in 57 min today. Quite improvement also ! I felt legs getting heavier and maybe consider tomorrow a rest day as thighs and calves are already super tight. Hip hip again
