16 Mile (24.56 Km) Long Run - A tough run in heavy humidity..

I don't do well in humidity. But, still, you'd think by now after doing runs up to 24+ miles in this training session, a 16 mile run wouldn't be a challenge on a humid day. But you'd think wrong. It seems everyone was being challenged. I just took it easy and ran with Bob Ripley the entire run. Bob was happy with the run -- it was a fair bit faster than he's done generally. Here are our splits:

We took LOTS of water stops. I drank a cup of water at every chance I got and I was still dehydrated at the end. Our pace, overall, was 5:32 per kilometre. Today, I'll take it!
