Beautiful Day!
Today is gorgeous!
The temperature is gonna rise to about 30 degrees, which is pretty good going for England, hurrah!
I love the summer, i'm definitely more of a warm weather person, the only downside is that my gym is in a building made of glass, so its a bit like working out in a greenhouse! i try to avoid mid-day obviously, but it is still harder work in the heat.
So, last night i went for a run with *E* around a fort. It was scary running outdoors... Well, i have run outdoors before.... but this was in daylight!!! Eek! People could see me!
Before the run i had that horrible feeling of "school sport's day"... eugh! (ok, i'll admit now, sports was my least favourite part of school, except netball, which was ok). it's weird that i still get this feeling, because its been 11 years since i left school!
anyway, this run was different to previous outdoor runs.... which have been on the pavement... because this was on a trail which runs around the perimeter of the fort.... so not flat, and not free from obstacles. A kinda scary hazard is that fishermen use the moat, and their pontoons are accessed from steep steps, which aren't visible until you're next to them. All i can say is thank god we chose to run in daylight hours, otherwise we'd have been swimming the route! All we'd need is a bike ride, and tri-here-we-come!
I can't give any times or distances, because i forgot to time properly, and the distance i haven't worked out yet. so more of a fun run than a training run, but good none-the-less.
Tomorrow i'm off to the "bodies" exhibition in London (http://www.trendandculture.com/bodies/). I'll post about it when i get back!
Ta ta, *H*
