2.67 miles hard

Had one last attempt at setting a PB for the 2.67 mile route home from work, but didn't quite manage it, finishing in 15:26 for an average pace of 5:47/mile, HR 159. Seemed to do something to my hip in the process so decided I could do with a few days off, bringing the streak to an end at 104 days.
