Semi-long run, was suppose to be a 17 miler, but since I had to run on the "Surface of the Sun" today....wound up cutting it short to 14.5miles...point of reference would be when you start to see purple monkeys running with you...maybe time to pack it in.....

31C and 83% humidity (humidex 45C)....Inhuman....

AM: Tempo workout

5X1mile at Tempo w/ 1 min jog recoveries (6:26 pace)

Felt comfortable, but was definitely the correct pace as I felt the Lactic acid build throughout the day.

PM: Recovery run

10km at a very easy paced recovery cadence, just to get the toxins flushed from my system.
