Three weeks of training and I’m atill at it, in spite of hot weather. Yesterday morning I went out, hoping to do my weekly long run. It was sunny and hot and the temperature was around 27°C and climbing. I thought that I could do it anyway, having run 10 km in similar temperatures. But it was hotter, sunnier and more humid and I lasted about 5 km. I had to walk back, thinking all the way “How am I ever going to complete 21 km, let alone train for it in this weather?”
This morning I woke up and checked the temperature - a pleasant 15°C. I’m not a morning runner, preferring instead to go in the evenings, but I thought I’d better take advantage of the situation. So off I went, plodding along slowly at first since I always take a bit to get going, even in the morning. In the end I managed to run 12 km, my longest distance so far this year. Not my fastest time - I had a few walking breaks - and not anywhere near 21 km but it’s getting there.
