Push out

Where did my speed go ?.
I know I haven't been training sprints or farts but I thought I could still get out and run fast.
Instead of my usual night running my run started at 4:30pm and the heat and humidity were still about. My plan was for 15k with a couple of hills. I started a bit slow then picked up the pace going through 3k in 14 min. By the time I hit 7.5k I had lost huge amounts of sweat and needed a drink. But in my infinite wisdom I didn't take any water so I had to stick it out and pray for rain. Well it almost worked, as I hit 11k a sprinkle of rain started then stopped. 3k to go and my pace was a tad under 5min/k so I slowed the lat few k's and came home easy.
I passed the same 50 cent coin that I have spotted a few weeks ago. Every time I see it I think Hmmmmmmm............... na not quite worth picking up. But once past it I regret it. It is on a section near a bridge so no pedestrians walk here but it always seems to move just a little each week.
Take care
