About 40km before I had to give in to the heat...and also there was a volleyball game going on so I decided to stop and enjoy those bloke's bodies
Coming back to the hotel the temperature signs were showing 39 degrees :eek::eek:
Local temperatures however were closer to 25 degrees!

Headed over to the park nearby for a run but I knew it wasn't going to happen. It was too warm and I had one too many mojito's last night :rolleyes:. Decided to get a bike instead and at least do something constructive.

Long Run
Out as early as possible to get this run in before it got too hot. Off over to what I'm now calling lycra park. Honestly never seen as many people out running or cycling around a park, it was jammed. Just meant plenty of eye candy and distractions for me.
Tough run and had to stop at 4 miles for a big bottle of water which was gone in a flash before continuing on. Job done though in a nice balmy 30 degrees!
Distance: 9 miles
Time: 1:32:31
Pace: 10:17 (TBH I'm well impressed with that in this heat)0 -
You can expect a jump in fitness when you get back, I did my marathon training in the heat on holidays and was flying when I got back.
Stop ogling those poor youngfellas, eyeing them up like pieces of meat is not allowed, unless of course you act on it! 0 -

I thought running was supposed to be about appreciating your surrounding environment etc. Not my fault that the environment is full of well sculpted specimens of mankind.
It's work trip and not a pleaure trip so have to be somewhat professional

These early morn runs are not getting any easier - dunno how any of you run so early in the morn, it's awful. On the plus side, it was only 26 degrees. Another yucky run!
I can't wait to run in the cold and dark evenings

Absolutely, but lets be honest, you're logging is like describing the Lynx Effect but for girls, and this:

OT 5km Fun Run
So I was one of those "joggers" that took part in the OT 5km today.
I think this event is great for encouraging people to run and it was brilliant to see so many people out there enjoying it despite the wind and furry glen!! I hope the majority stay with running.
I knew it would be slow to get started with the amount of runners and I was fine with this. It's a fun run after all. First mile was very stop/start so I tried to make up the time on 2 & 3rd mile once I got a relatively clear path (and avoided the cameras too of course). Probably a bit too quick coming out of the furry glen and that slightly killed me.
Anyway still a PB but didn't manage to get under the 25 so slightly disappointed but I hit my target set for 2012. I will get under 25 on another race so thats some consolation.
Garmin Time: 25:16
LSR (needed to round up to 10 miles for day)
Nules and myself stopped for a few mins after the 5km to cheer on Nules' sis and mother. They did great too and were delighted.
Tough going when we started again and that wind around the back of the park was a b1tch! Bumped into sunflowerRo too out bombing around
I can't say I liked this run as legs felt heavy but finished off my 7 to round the day up tp the planned 10. Nules continued on for her 13.1 (incl a lap of the visitor centre car park!!) Nice going missus.
LSR Miles: 7
Total Miles: 10.2

I'd love say this was an enjoyable run but that would be horse crap!
I resented the fact I had to do this run all day purely coz I couldn't have my bucket of starbucks this morn :rolleyes:. So started it in a bad mood and achilles was acting like a brat too. By the time I had finished I had calmed down a wee bit

Poor week running due to work but I managed to get out yesterday and this evening to slightly make up for it so one 1 run missed overall.

Long Run
Home in the west for the w-end so decided to change it up a bit and head somewhere different for the long run. So first time to properly try a good ould cross country trail. Holy moly but this was tough work, very draining on the legs I have to say slipping and sliding all over the place. Covered head to toe in muck afterwards! Jury is still out on whether I liked it or not but it was good to change it up.
Distance: 12 miles
Time: 1:56:47
Avg Pace: 09:43
