As I was going out this evening to celebrate my husbands birthday I had to fit a quick run in as soon as I got home from work in order that I was showered and changed in time to go out with my family!
Running at 4pm meant it was still very warm and the sun was still shining strongly!
I remembered my water bottle tonight (thankfully) and set off out in my shorts and vest to enjoy my run.
As I was short of time I opted to go for a road run as I can then just run from home rather than travelling to my start point!
When I first set off I struggled with the heat and my thoughts were instantly to cut the run short! However, after the first mile or so I reminded myself to slow my pace as it was meant to be an easy run and then I seemed to settle down into it and it didn't feel as difficult!
In the end I ran 1/2 mile as a warm-up (although I was already very warm!!), then the 4 miles on the plan finishing off with 3/4 mile to cool down!
All together I ran 5.25 miles at an average pace of 9:20 minute miles.
Hopefully the sun will stay bright and beautiful tomorrow as it's swimming night in Lake Windermere!
