I've just realised that I like to run!

17.2 km in around 2 hours on road. 30 degrees with full sun today that made it way too hot and I could feel myself overheating. Figured I'd do my body more damage than benefit if I kept on going with only two weeks till the marathon. Ran 8.6 km @ 11 kph then walked and jogged back in over an hour. 

PM 5.3 km in 24:44 on treadmill.

300m @ 12 kph

1 km @ 13.3 kph (marathon pace)

500m @ 12 kph

1 km @ 13.3 kph

500m @ 12 kph

1 km @ 13.3 kph

500m @ 12 kph

500m @ 15 kph 

Good run to add on to the incomplete run during the day. 

6.6 km in 33:12 on treadmill @ 12 kph. 

10 km in 48:23 on road averaging 12.4 kph. Hot and humid. Ran at marathon pace for km's 2 >3, 4 >5 to see if i could get it down to a couple of seconds and I was pretty close to it. From km's 8 > 10 I ran a little faster than marathon pace into a good headwind...it cooled me down!

6.56 km in 29:45 on road. I Didn't mean to run it near marathon pace but I felt great so I just kept running naturally. The sun had set when I went out and it sure made a big difference. I'm really looking forward to the cool in Tokyo - I just hope it's not bucketing down like last year! Finger's crossed! 

6.56 km in 32:16 on road. Set out to run it at 12 kph and averaged 12.2 so i'm pretty happy with the run. My legs felt a bit sluggish today though, not sure if it was the beach fishing I did for a couple of hours today in the sun or for some other reason. Tomorrow is an 8 miler and a week till the marathon!
