Sweating through early summer
Sunday, May 24, 2009The weather’s hotting up, the running’s been continuing and I’m making reasonable progress, having run 61Km this month in all kinds of weather. The low point was a particularly windswept 7k in Finsbury Park in which I got absolutely soaked and shat on by a bird with greeny-coloured poo.
Today’s run was the longest so far – a 9-miler around Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill. All felt good, but the strength of the sunshine and the 22°C heat left me sprinting for the shade and wondering how those folk running ultramarathons in the desert cope. It’s surprising the difference even a couple of degrees makes.
Right. I deserve cider.

I hope you weren’t soaked by the greeny-colored poo!?

Not this time, thankfully ;-) Though on this weekend’s run I think I swallowed about 12 flies :(
