Okay, I decided to do my run late afternoon, as it was so hot, and I didnt get up early enough to eat and get the run in before the mid-day heat...... OMG its humid too 26 degrees, and humid echouwowa!

So lots of house work today, and paperwork for my husbands business's so I was kinda starting out tired...

18 miles  easy pace, averageing 7.49 pace, some slower some faster... I struggled with the heat, I was fully fueled this week, but still the heat really took it outta me..

Really proud my husband Paul cycled with me, and my son Dylan they both did the full 18 miles with me, Dylan did so well its the most hes cycled ever and he seemed to enjoy most of it... I was so proud of him. Well Done Dylan  :-) 

But I did it, so the extra miles added on this week, next week same route not fueled then the following week if its not so hot and humid, I hoping to hammer the last 4 miles but we will see.... Happy summer days !

:-) 

20 mins xtrainer level 6.  Gym is too hot its hotter in the gym than out Duh !

3.7 miles extremley slow, as I am sore from my 18 miler yesterday, I did have an ice bath for 15 mins as no more time and had to get on with stuff....

15mins xtrainer level 6.

The news for the uk is HEAT Wave, we are going to have temps of 30degrees and over OMG HELP I cant run in this!!!   I will have to take ice cold towels and put them on my head like Allie did in the over 100 temps in her recent race.

7.3 miles slower than 8 min pace ahhhh, I ran in the sea for 3 miles to try and keep myself cool but it slows you down even more, great leg strengthener ran through woodlands trails hills sand, 1 or 3 sanddunes, and im tired today, just wanted to sleep on the side of a sanddune, :-)  this 7.3 miles was harder than my long run on Sunday! OM* I even walked on some of it not much, but it was real hard for me...not sure if it was motivation which I did struggle with or just shear HELL ....

Evening run tick  

Okay 6.90  Odd numbers today, but thats ok because they add up to a .3 and I like no 3's so I can cope with that.....

Pretty good, it had cooled down somewhat still slightly humid but not as bad as this morning, my legs still bit achey after yesterdays tempo run.... did the run in average pace 7.45 min miles, not bad for an easy run
