12.5K Short Run

#15

Tonite it was time to increase the distance to 12.5K.

When I biked home from work I would cross the route that the St Hans Extreme 6h race would run. Had time to stop and cheer them on. They had started 2 pm and I biked home 4.30 pm

It was warm so I put on linnen, running skirt, mandatory water belt and flipbelt.

Started my run, at one point I started to run faster and in the heat my lungs protested and had to stop walking for a bit

So then I got to the part where the ultra runners were running between the hills and they had a flat part where I also ran. I cheered on all of them who I was passing, some I knew and some were strangers, I probabaly cheered on some regular runners, thought they were part of the race but probabaly wasn’t.

I had issues with my right knee so most of the walks was due to this knee issue but was glad I got out anyway.

I had to pass a horse that was in front of me, ran as far to the left as I could just in case the horse would be scared.

Did not suffer so much because of the heat, am so glad that I have water with me so I can wet my hair and drink water to not get dehydrated.
