I was a bit lazy getting out of the house this morning, due in no small part to the 120km ride yesterday, but by 8:30 I knew I had to get out for the run, or it would become unbearably hot. It was still more than a little warm, and although I was just out for 10 miles, I'm surprised I pulled it off with one water bottle. And even better, my performance didn't get killed by dehydration.
In fact, I had a great run. I followed my two-loop course, taking the first one nice and easy (or as easy as you can with 4 significant hills). Heading out for number two, my stride opened up really nicely, and I kept a quick pace, without getting out of breath. I wanted to rein in the effort and not make this anything approaching a race pace, so other than the hills, I kept my breathing in the 4-4 range. Still, when I got back to the house and stopped the watch, I was at 40:45, which is 30 seconds better than last week, and a PR by 20 seconds.
The legs are coming around. 1:32-35 in Muskoka in on the horizon.
Run: 10.5 miles, 43:02/40:45
