Weedend 17.5 K Run

I ran 17.5 K in 1:22:32.
I took three short water breaks while running,
and there were several stops at intersections because of the red light, too.

The weather was good and bad for a long run.
Temperature-wise it was good because daytime highs were 27 degrees,
and not so high.
It was not so good either because a typhoon was coming and winds were a bit strong.
 But they were not too strong to make running impossible.

I left home shortly past one o'clock, and went around a 2.5 K circular route 7 times,
taking a hydration break after each 5 K.

The last lap was hard because I had not been used to running beyond 10 K for quite a while
ever since I ran a full marathon in Kasumigaura earlier this past April,
but I did my best to crank up the pace and put on a spurt in the last one K
to improve the final lap by nearly 30 seconds from the previous lap.

The details of today's training are as follows:
1st 2.5 K: 11:43
2nd 2.5 K: 11:29/23:12
Hydration Break: 10.41
3rd 2.5 K: 11:36
4th 2.5 K: 11:48/46:47
Hydration Break: 12.95
5th 2.5 K: 11:48
6th 2.5 K: 11:58/ 1:10:47
Hydration Break: 14.76
7th 2.5 K: 11:29/1:22:32

Next training will be on Wednesday night or on Thursday night,
depending on my mood and fatigue level.
