#22 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition

Today it was a joy running a 5K run compared to Friday when I thought I was gonna die.

This picture sums it up.

Decided to run after breakfast but had to run some errands and did those first and then before lunch I ran.

Temperature: 23oC (73.4F) so I decided to wear my running skirt (has become a life saver), linen, flipbelt and water belt.

As soon as I started running I felt a cool breeze.    🙂

I wet my hair a couple of times, not because I got over heated, just that it feels good to have a cool head and drank some water during the run. Running up the bike path at the end was a joy and I also increased the pace at the very end.

This is the temperature I am hoping for this weekend, a bit cooler in the morning and then around 22oC with a breeze in the afternoon. The worst scenario would be how it was Thursday and Friday this week.
