Tonight’s run was basically a repeat of Tuesday, with the pace being an entire second faster at 5:07/km. The differences:
- I ran counter-clockwise, so no stinky skunk cabbage. This was GOOD.
- It was several degrees warmer at 30ºC. This was BAD.
- It was less humid, which meant my throat and mouth were parched less than 1 KM in. This was BAD.
- I felt less creaky starting out. This was GOOD.
- The right shoelace came untied at .65 km in. This was VERY ANNOYING.
Overall I can say I was glad to get this one over with. At least if it’s still hot on the weekend I have a chance to choose a time when it is slightly less hot to run.
