Long run - 13.5 miles in the heat

Today, it was a challenge to just get through the 13.5 mile long run in London. We took it easy, stopping at most water stops along the way. Here are my splits:

8:55
8:54
8:30
8:34
8:46
9:06
9:12
8:48
8:38
8:32
8:34
8:34
8:43
8:38 pace (0.51 miles)

Overall pace was 8:44.

It was about 29 degrees when we finished and muggy throughout the entire run. The only saving grace was that because we were running along the paths beside the river, there was a fair bit of shade along the route. Jenny led the way back for the most part. The heat wasn't a problem for her.

Anyhow, nothing to brag about, but we got through it.
