Runner’s World Summer Streak - Day 36
Time : 17:06 Minutes
Distance : 2.0 Miles
This Week: 5.25 Miles
Total: 154.12 Miles
The day started out great, it cooled off overnight and there was a layer of fog pouring out over the edge of the river valley.
It made for a great start to my run and reminded me of a scene from the movie “The Big Chill” where the guys are running on the foggy streets of the town.
I started to run the 3 mile ridge route from my house. I got about 1/4 of a mile in and started to feel the need for a biological break. I decided to continue on. This was not a good choice.
It made me feel like this. I tried to hold off the inevitable (which made running difficult) but at around a mile and a half into the run there was the opportunity to cut off and head for home so I did. In fact I sprinted all the way to the toilet, and so ended my morning run.
It was the hottest day of the year so far, the mercury tipped over 35 C outside my kitchen window. I was so glad that I made the effort to run early.
I finished off with day 4 of “le tour challenge”. I rode 8.5 km in 23:08 minutes at 9:30 PM. It had started to cool off which made the ride nice, but I was not even close to the team time trials on the real tour today.
An OK day after an aborted start.
Plod On
