Yesterday’s run was tough due to the heat, I struggled but did not cut the distance.

On the weather report it looked like today would be as warm but I was determined to run the distance that I had decided. Tonite I increased the distance to 10K.

At work in the afternoon I saw that it looked like it was breezier so I might survive.

I decided to wear my running skirt again, linnen this time, water belt and flipbelt.

Temperature: 24oC (75.2F)

My legs decided the pace from the beginning.

It was much breezier but I still had to wet my hair and drink water during my run.

Major improvement today, I ran the first 4K in a 6.30 min/k pace, longest so far, then came an upwind and I slowed down but continued to have from time to time a 6.30 min/k pace.

After around 6K I was forced to walk due to the heat but decided it would be a short walking distance.

I also had to walk prior to that, not because of the heat but it was difficult to get the mobile back into the flipbelt after I had taken some pictures. The flipbelt is great just as long as you have things in there but do not have to bring things out. The waterbelt is over the flipbelt and the flipbelt is turned with the holes towards my body.

There were a couple of more times that I had to walk, some issue with my right knee also.

When it was approximately 2K left I decided that now you are running all the way home and I did.

Even if I had this 6.30 min/k pace and I was breathless, it felt more like the breathless I feel if I am heavier and not due to the breathlessness that I felt in the beginning.it

This was my fastest run so far 🙂

I really hope it will soon feel more normal.

Tomorrow I will test myself on the trails again. I want to know where I stand, I will get myself to one of my favorite trail places and try the green marker. There are two really tough hills but I am looking forward to it a lot.
