Perfect weather, not a perfect run. Lack of fitness caught up with me at about mile 18 again. I was able to hold the walk/run pattern better than at Hogeye, but I didn't bank as much time early due to slower pace (2:16 half instead of 2:10). So even though the second half was four minutes faster, I wound up two minutes slower overall. Didn't manage to break 5 hours this time. I've got to get in more miles and work on the flexors that are shutting down on me. Lots of walking after, then even managed to get out and go up in the Shard after dark.

4 easy after work. Legs are OK. Jet lag isn't.
