Missed the group this morning as my puppy was sick several times last night. I had been awake for a couple of hours when my alarm went off. That's about when the puppy started to show signs of improvement so it was time for a nap. I was finally able to go for a run at around 2pm (its a long story). By this time it was pushing 80 degrees, but the humidity was low, and there was a breeze. However, it was pretty sunny and I have some singlet shaped sunburn to prove it. I carried by water so there were no designated water stops. I either drank on the go, or when I had to stop 3 or 4 times for traffic lights. I felt good out there until around mile 8 1/2 when I realised that I hadn't done a very good job of water preservation so needed to take a more direct route home than I'd originally envisaged. Still I managed the following splits which is my best run for a few months: 7:51, 7:37, 7:36,7:38, 7:33, 7:37, 7:43, 7:40, 7:23, 7:29, 7:16, and a bomb drop last mile of 6:13! |
