8.25K Short Run

#8

When I biked home from work I realized it was very warm.

No way I would wear long sleeve wool, windstopper and long tights.

Tonite it would be premiere for shorts and t-shirt but when I got home I changed my mind and decided to put on my running skirt. Also premiere for my flipbelt and water belt.

To try to avoid another knee issue I put liniment on my right knee

Temperature: 24oC (75.2F)

Decided that the legs would decide the pace the first 1K but it was tough getting them to slow down not until on the bog they slowed down due to the heat.

From time to time the pace increased but I was not too breathless

Water belt is a tip when it is warm and you do city runs, you can drink and also wet your hair and face. It helped for a while but then it was warm again

I was forced to walk from time to time due to the heat.

But since I did not have any knee issue I wouldn’t cut the distance, I am not a person who give up. I need to loose weight and get fit again and not head out because it was warm was not an option.

Same thing with the gym, need to get the strength back and just because it is tough right now I won’t give up there either, it won’t make me stronger.

There were some other runners that seemed to struggle with the heat.

Once again my legs started to run faster and faster at the end

Even if it was warm tonite I was glad I ran, not too bad, 4 minutes slower than last time due to heat is just fine.

This was my last 8K run, tomorrow I will increase the distance once again.
