I got out almost an hour later this morning when my plan was to get out an hour earlier. Oops.
As such, it was a bit warmer and you might be wondering why I mention the humidity, because it was actually less humid than Monday’s run and the reason is by heading out later I was starting to hit that heat/humidity combo that acts like an energy vampire.
As a result, my pace was a somewhat pokey 6:03/km, though I found enough reserves to post 5:52/km for the final lap. BPM was down a bit due to the slog-like nature, as well.
As for the cheaty bit: At the halfway point, I stopped to drink at the fountain by the Nature House, then immediately had to use the loo. This ended up having no discernable effect on my overall pace.
I also saw three topless joggers. One of the perks of running in the summer.
Other than the heat/humidity, no real issues to report and long stretches of the run were pretty quiet, with very few people out under the sun.
Overall, not a bad effort, but I really will try to get out earlier on Friday, I swear!
