1k speed challenge - run 1.

The rain finally stopped for all of 10 seconds, so off I went, planning to start easy & fit in a "fast" 1k. But! The first track to play on my Spotify "Run, bitch" playlist was Lust for Life by Saint Iggy Pop, so off I went, channelling Ewan McGregor battering down Princes Street (obscure Trainspotting reference there for all the non-oldies πŸ˜„πŸ˜„). That was followed by Debaser from the Blessed Pixies (my choice for when they finally close the curtains round me), so it would've been rude not to keep going. I managed a 2nd best 1k time of 6.26 in the pitch black & horizontal rain, so no pressure for next time πŸ™„πŸ˜„). What have I become?
