Four to Go

Monday:
Distance: 10.2 km in 54' 17" at 5' 19" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 13 degrees, humidity 50%, wind NW 20 kmph
Today:
Distance: 6.3 km
Time: 33' 06"
Rate: 5' 15" per km
Weather: high cloud, temp 14 degrees, humidity 55%, wind northerly at 15 kmph
Week: 34.85 km
August: 294.2 km in 19/31 days at ave 15.5 km per run day
Year: 3143.85 km in 8 months at ave 392.98 kms per month

Only four months to go this year but at least spring starts tomorrow and we hopefully get some better weather.
The problem with an ultra in the middle of a month is that tapering and recovery take away good running time, so the distance totals look very average. But I can remember may be 10 years ago, that 300 kms in a months was pretty handy. Now, I think, very slack.
Yesterday and today's running were curtailed by the beginning of the trial of the new bus ticketing system at work. I am caught up with being a test crash dummy to find the weaknesses in the system. It is still a trial, we have found a few technical bits that require adjustment.
Plenty of discussion eating into my free time, so only a couple of shortish outings on very nice days. Should pick up later in the week if the rain holds off. Could be wet weekend.
