Monday - 15km

No respite from this heat and humidity! Today was another run in the furnace! A slight northeasterly wind offered only minor relief, and was too short lived. Frustrating running in this, as the effort is just as hard as usual, but you just feel so slow and sluggish. As I’ve said over and over again, I can’t look into the pace and time too much during these conditions. But I must say that that was the worst it’s felt for a weekday 15km run (in terms of humidity) this summer. Nevertheless, I just battled through it, keeping the intensity within a tolerable range the entire run. The Shelly-Fairlight loop this morning. Got back in 56:10 (3:45’s), quite a bit slower than normal - but running in today’s weather is anything but normal. Looks like more of the same is ahead tomorrow and Wednesday (in fact, the latter looks horrendous)! Time for the ocean now!
