Today it was again for a long run. Decided to get up a bit earlier so I could get out around 11 am.

Read that it was suppose to be the warmest day of this summer so I knew that this would probably be a tough run. At 8 am the temperature was showing 20oC (68F).

Mixed my sport drink that would be Maxim Lemon & Lime flavor and put the bottle in the refrigerator. I saw that I got burned on my upper arms yesterday so I decided  would wear a t-shirt to avoid getting really burned where I already was burned.

Time to also put water in two bottles and put them in the refrigerator til I was going to put them in my water belt.

Time to start getting ready. When I have just started to run I felt a nice cool breeze 🙂 There was some hope that maybe that would save me.

I drank every other k and when I haven’t even run 5k part of me was getting tired but I told myself that if you are going to start walk because of the heat I am going to run at least 10k.

At 4k it was time to wet my head.

This is how fresh I felt at 5k.

A lot of bikers passed me who were on their way to Lomma beach. 🙂

My 25k run is one of my favorite runs because it is out in the country and a lot of nice views during the run.

All of a sudden it was cloudy and the temperature dropped a bit and if felt much cooler and I enjoyed the ride, no issues with my right knee or M. Gluteus maximus. Liniment makes the difference and the mandatory stretching.

Still feeling strong!

When I got to Lomma I continued running in what I call nature reserve and then the road to the beach but no beach today, that will happen next week when the tropical heat is going to be back.

Turned right and passed the paddock.

After 16k I started to drink sport drink every k.

When I returned back to Lund the heat came back and at around 20k I started to get really tired both in my head and legs. It was time to take out ”pannbenen”. (=Grab the bulls by its horns)

I was working with myself for 5k, was on my way to start walking but wouldn’t quit til I had run 5 more k but after that I was done. So I walked the last 2k but am satisfied with the run anyway. I guess I was tired when I wet my head with sport drink :-). No issues at all today except for the heat that was not my friend at the end. Lucky me it was cloudy part of the run when it was much cooler.
