Day 8 (60) The Ironman Cometh

;
Run: 1:05
Distance: 9.5km
Heart Rate: 145bpm average (167 max)
Kcal: 1144
1:30 above 165
Temperature (at midnight): 29 C (min)/30 C (av)/32 C(max)

The air is very fresh, pavements shining after some bursts of rain. Ran one lap with Corneli, then stretched out a bit on the second lap. Felt a bit stiff from Saturday, but also feeling stronger and invigorated. At one point I pushed hard on a downhill and felt really good. I caught a guy and as I reached him, I slowed down from a gallop to a slow trot. He must have wondered what was happening, because usually, when people pass you, it's the other way round. Felt like the Ironman was waking from a very deep winter sleep.
Looking forward to doing more runs like this. I'm feeling like I should run 2 laps each time I run.
