It was SO humid at 11:35am when I started!  I took the 'easy' sections very easy and then tried harder in the 2x3.5km.  Glad to finish and get to some shade and a tap.

  1. Good workout! Damn hot that time of the day too. Much as I hate early mornings I'm running at 7am on the weekends or after the sun goes down.

  2. That's a great workout LL. Don't know how you can push it at that time of day in the heat. Make sure you hydrate properly!!

  3. Thanks Ewen. I might try 7:00am for tomorrow's long run...might!

    Yes, good advice Strewth. At least my late runs prepare me for hot weather should it happen that way for a special event...like Canberra Half in April!
