Close to 36 K; Now to Tamper...

Left the house at 6 AM to being my longest LSD before tampering. The radio forecasted a high of 22C but didn't make mention of humidity. Ran in the dark (with street lights) going west on the Martin Goodman Trail, past the Humber Bridge, and further west until the turnout. Stopped off at the Esso station to purchase Gatorade. Then back east all the way to Cherry Street [with a stop at Shopper's Drug Mart to purchase more Gatorade], south along the Martin Goodman Trail and then to the entrance of Tommy Thompson Park, then north on Leslie Street until Lakeshore...finishing off at Queen Street and Sherbourne.

Left hip still giving "sensations" but I was able to get in 35.93 K this morning -- 15:1 (x18) and 4H 48M "out there". Weather was great -- sunny and NOT humid :-) I am ready for the full marathon in 3 weeks at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront race. The spectators, runners, and entertainment will get me to the finish line. Ready to begin tampering...

YTD = 1192.43 K
