Hot & Stormy.

Wow, it got hot on the weekend. An early morning run on Saturday was nice. The early start was great as the day had not warmed up yet but coming home Oh Boy did it warm up. I had to stop a couple of times to get more water and really get some fluids into me. all up 29k at a lazy 5:45 pace. Sunday morning was the BRRC 5/10k at West End. What a turn out. I thought maybe 40 people but no it would have to be at least 100. It was great to put some names to faces and chat to fellow Coolrunners. My legs were still a bit heavy from the long run but that didn't stop me going out hard. The first 3k I was on 4:30 pace and that's when the legs said "Hey what the..."
The 6 am start was a bit late as the morning temp was over 28 deg and it got hotter. I finished in 49 min which was way over what I could do but that is not what I am training for so it will have to do. Tonight a nice easy 22k and after the storm last night it might be a wet run.
Take care.
