HH – Week 2 Long Run

by Bill Wallace on February 1, 2010

Headed out for a long run yesterday to complete week 2 of the Hal Higdon Marathon training.

Never start running at 2:30pm when its 30+ degrees! :)

We had headed into the city for a coffee and some blogging with the C1. Very cosmopolitan. And we had a bbq at a friends place at 5:30 pm. So the timing was to catch up for a coffee for an hour or so, get the togs on and run home from Mt Lawley – about 12 – 13kms. The run called for 11.25km according to the training program.

Anyway, the heat got to me, as it might, and around 5.6 kms I wasn’t sure if continuing was a good idea. So, on the phone for the FBH to come get me.

Two lessons:

  1. Don’t run in the heat of the day!
  2. Carry water with you!
  3. (bonus) Stick to the plan and get up early to complete your exercise

Rest day today, let’s see if I can do that!!! :)

Have a great week!
