RE: February 2012 - Base Camp
Summer has finally arrived down here after weeks of cold, wet weather which has left everybody grumpy and large slabs of the country under water as floods again swamp (in particualr) northern New South Wales and southern Queensland.
It wasn't until late January that here in Sydney we had our first 30C day and after returning to a few days of continuous rain, yesterday the heat and humidity reappeared once more.
So today's longer run was completed again on the treadmill in front of a couple of fans which helped, but eventually even that couldn't overcome the heat and I pulled up short of what I hoped.
Still a reasonable 20km covered and so the adventure continues. And the absence of hills has helped my legs to shed the slight but persistent shin splints of last week.
20km, 2h10:36, muggy
YTD: 237.5km
