'Long' run in Darlington

Ran the huggy today with Sas up to the Great Eastern Highway and back, with a brief stop in Mundaring on the way down for a chat with the group that was going up. Big negative split on the run, not really surprising as the run is mostly uphill to the highway, and then mostly downhill on the way back. The run was 22.22km at 4:38, HR 146, Ca84, 676bpk - the first half was 4:51 pace, and second half was 7 minutes quicker at 4:24 pace, the HR for both was 146 - nice even effort! Nice conditions especially on the way up - 15°. It started getting a bit warm on the way down as the sun strted to get some punch and we had a nice headwind just to keep things interesting (but a bit cooler at least).

Looking forward to Peninsular 10k tomorrow, the word on the street is that Tina Major will be racing, it'll be good to see her up here in Perth - adding that sort of quality to the field should stir things up a bit.
