It's been hovering around 30 C in the city for a couple of days. That's pretty hot around here. The first run I did went okay, it was hot, for sure, but it wasn't unbearable. Yesterday's run was very hot, it got to the point my body was having a hard time breathing since hot air is all that was coming in. Stupidly, I didn't bring a water bottle (note to self for today's run). I'm hoping with some hydration and possibly, slightly cooler temps that today's run will actually be accomplished (completely). The past 2 days' runs have come up short thanks to the heat and family obligations. So currently I've got a 6 mile deficit to make up (UGH). Funny enough, I'm the only runner I see out there lately...where'd everybody go? Did everyone else take up pool running?
On the bright side, the warm weather means my knee is less of an issue. I (almost) feel like normal again without all the swelling - yay! It certainly gives me hope for the half marathon in a week. My brother is also back home, so I'm hoping he's still willing to be my running partner and will do this race with me. It's a trail race, the easiest trail race around these parts, so I think he'll be game.
With all the running I've been doing (on average 60kms a week), my shoes are wearing down fast. I started looking for replacements online, specifically the cute little Reeboks I got 4 months ago, but they're hard to find. I'm surprised I'm back looking at Reebok, since I haven't worn that brand in almost 8 years, but they've improved their neutral running shoes a lot. The search continues...
