... and Tina and Lyn go out in the midday sun!
It was nearer 2.30 to be precise, but the temperature, as measured by Tina's car on her arrival at my house, registered 26 degrees Celsius. Tina didn't suggest that maybe it was a little too hot for running and neither did I. We are both holidaying in the kind of places that requires the removal of clothing (not all of it) and although I can't see where Tina needs to lose weight from my extra padding is very noticeable.
We set off at a good pace, probably a little slow for Tina but good for me. My left knee kept giving a sharp pain, not something I've noticed before and thankfully it eased off. Fortunately the hedges are high and we were able to run in the shade quite a bit of the way. The hills today well and truly beat me, I couldn't even try I'm ashamed to say.
Whilst catching up on our family news, both our eldest sons have weddings coming up, we soon made it to half way around a particularly favourite route of mine. Uphill for the first half means downhill just about all the way home and the icing on the cake, through the woods on a lovely spongy track. It was good, but still too hot for me and i felt like there was no fuel in the tank and my legs were like lead. Tina loves running in the heat but for me I'm a cooler weather girl and in fact seem to get any PBs in the rain.
I have decided to take my trainers on holiday, but where we are going is going to be very hot, I hope the gym at the hotel is air conditioned! I'm really hoping to get up early and run along the beaches and coastal paths. Like today, there may be quite a bit of walking happening!
We plan to run again on Friday, so that it doesn't become FRYday we are heading out first thing in the morning. I really hope I can perform better than I did today!
Enjoy the sunshine x
