How humid and hot was it ?
Normally i can at least get 2-3k out from home before I start to sweat. But last night I didn't even get to 1k before the sweat was pouring out. The sky would just tease every now and then with a few drops then ... nothing. 4k out and I was not feeling the best. I decided it was going to be a short run because of the conditions ( 10 -12k). But every hill I hit seemed to make me feel just a bit better and I had taken lots of water with me which seemed to give me a bit of confidence to keep on going. As I hit 8k out of the corner of my eye I could see a police van with flashing lights. Curiosity got the better of me and I headed down the street to have a bit of a sticky beak. Nothing much was going on so I just continued on down the street.. I t turned into a big hill and that's when the smells started. First was blood and bone then sewerage then road kill. What a mix just on one hill. top of the hill I hit 10.3k and my shoes were slushy. I hate running in wet shoes. I did finally find my way back to reality and found a familiar street. I pushed on up another hill and at the top I knew it was downhill for the next 1.5k and took it easy heading downhill.
All up 21.69k at 5:30 pace.
Tonight a bit of the same but hopefully it will be cooler.
Take care.
