In which I run under mostly similar conditions with a three day break and manage to add six seconds to my average pace.
It was 30ºC for tonight’s delayed run and while the temperature was the same, it was much more humid. This was good news for my mouth and throat, which were not left feeling desert dry like Thursday’s run. On the other hand it was apparently bad for the run overall as my pace lagged enough to come in at a relatively slovenly pace of 5:13/km.
Apart from a few odd twinges from my left knee, nothing particularly stood out on the run. I slogged along at what I thought was a decent pace for the first few km but in fact the first km was a full ten seconds off compared to the previous run. I guess it really is the humidity.
The weather promises to be a few degrees cooler by the next run so hopefully I will find the eye of the tiger or some other important tiger-related organ by then.
