And dried up all the rain, apart from the many large muddy puddles that required careful hopping, skipping and jumping over and around.
Today's run was hot and hard, the glorious sunshine made the temperature gauge in my car register a whopping 18.5 when I left work half an hour before I put my trainers on. No jacket or hat required just me and my ipod.
My legs felt like lead, there didn't feel like there was much fuel in the tank and my left knee was giving me jip. Those short burst hill climbs on Sunday probably explained the heavy feeling. My May challenge to eat more fruit and drink more water may have accounted to the lower energy levels as I have been very careful about what I have eaten today. Yesterday had not been a good day on the food front. I had indulged in chocolate cake and fish and chips both of which contained my enemy gluten. All tasted delicious but I knew they would sap my energy resources and they did. The knee pain was definitely a result of wearing high heels to work, I'll be back to flats tomorrow!
All in all I don't like running in hot sunshine, I'm almost wishing it would rain...
