Wednesday January 28 (Marathon Pace – 14 km)
The morning air felt cool at 20 0 C but the humidity was at 97% at 6.00 am as I headed out the door. I was not looking forward to my mid-long run at marathon pace, the air felt so humid you could drink it. I ran to Long Reef point and return for a total of 14km at an average pace of 5.16min/km, which is a bit slower than my target marathon pace. But, I did do a negative split which, considering the conditions and how I felt, I am very pleased with.
On my way home, I stopped to watch a pod of dolphins surfing the very small waves which were hardly breaking at Collaroy. Sweat was dripping off me like a tap had been left turned on and the dolphins made the water look so inviting I almost heard the siren call and joined them. As a famous philosopher, who goes by the name of The Hammer, once said “Ain’t life grand”.
