Sunday long run (30km)

That was horrible! 30km in windy, cooler and sprinkling conditions. Worst case scenario with the wind; a moderate south-westerly tailwind provided some assistance running north to Warriewood. This gave way to an ever increasing straight southerly (read: direct headwind that was stronger than the tailwind) for the back half journey home. Adding to the anxiety was an under-reading GPS (ended up finishing 200m further up the road than usual - which is some slight comfort in explaining yesterday's session) along with a right sided shoelace that kept threatening to come untied (don't know how it stayed together)! Made a real effort on the return to keep the heart rate below 150 beats per minute, which is definitely slower than I would have run without the feedback. Ended up averaging 3:49's at 146 beats per minute. Not a bad effort at all considering the above. Definitely a solid run though.
