Sunday Long Runs Return!

Yay! I woke up this morning to the rain they’d been forecasting for days that hadn’t come. I was expecting to have to go water the garden before I headed out, but Mother Nature took care of that for me.

 

Today’s weather was perfect training weather for Honolulu: 14C, 88% humidity & light rain. Long runs are for preparing your body for the long mileage on race day. I’ve been getting in some good runs lately (thank God for my physiotherapist, Carmen!) and so today’s long run wasn’t really, well, long. But that’s OK. Slow and steady will get me across the finish line upright, smiling, and uninjured (that’s the biggie!)

Today’s stats: 8.17 km, 1:06:09, 630 calories burned

Average running speed: 7:23 km/h

Average walking speed: 8:51 km/h

I stopped for groceries before coming home and picked up the fixing’s for dinner: grilled curried turkey burgers, cauliflower, peppers and potato in homemade butter chicken sauce served atop fresh spinach. Mmmm!
