Friday Long Run
25.0k 2:20:43 HR Avg 143 Max 171 Avg Pace 5:37
Course: To Bowen Bridge and Back.
Start Time: 5:00 am Temp 26C.
Session Type: Long Run
Another humid morning. Even leaving at 5 am you can't escape it. For the first time this summer, I found my socks completely drenched and I was sloshing around in shoes full of sweat for the last 5k. Despite this, it was a good run and the legs are now adapting to the work load.
Out in 70:11 (HR 137) and back in 70:32 (148). They are good splits as the return journey is basically up hill to home and historically the return leg is 2 to 3 minutes slower.
I am now off up the coast for an Australia Day party. Hope I stay awake for the drive and the party.

That's why I don't like driving after a run.
They are good splits - you must be getting stronger. As for humidity, our 20-30% does sound better - especially when the Braidwood Doctor also arrives most afternoons.

26 degrees at 5 am is damn warm; an interesting contrast with the 9.7 we had in Canberra this morning. That was a tremendous effort for your long run too, with you and Ewen noting the good splits. It's an even better effort when you take those weather conditions into account.
