I did have to stretch, even during the run - it helps..
I ran from EGL, along the southern perimeter wall of the (old) HAL Airport.
Felt the distance after about 8km, and wished I had some company then!
If so inclined, check out the map below (i re-traced the exact same route back to the starting point):

BTW, I use the (new-ish) OHA/Google/HTC Android phone to track my run...
