So, the 10k I'd hope to do this week had to be today. I guess I was probably rested enough but I wasn't confident heading out the door.
The sun was blazing down giving 28 in the shade and there was little of that.
I'd decided to find a loop on the road in prep for September's half marathon.
I took plenty of water, some nibbles (which included an apple) and set off trying to find an economical pace.
All went well. The elevation was a little surprising (175m) but I was taking my own sweet time and found it a pleasure.
I broke the run at half way to drink and eat the apple then set off on the long climb home.
Not a blistering pace but I have to say that I'm pleased to have got back up to the distance especially in the heat and with the hills.
Mischief managed.
A hot sunny day...maybe not the right day to move up to 10k, but all went well despite elevation of 175m and 28 in the shade :)
