I have been watching the forecast very closely, maybe even being obsessive about it! Worried about the heat. Today when i checked Saturday's forecast i was so delighted to see its going to be very cool!! I am so happy and this means that i don't have to carry drinks with me - which will be great for that climb

Cool!! Crikey - I'm full of respect if you can run up hills in that sort of temperature.

Good luck!

Ooh. Looks like you just made the cool cutoff! That's great news. The race sounds like a lot of fun from your post part1. Can't wait to hear about the race day buzz. All the best during it - I imagine you're eager to get the show on the road. :)

25°C? Cool? They (the forecasters) reckon it's going to get up as high as 1°C tomorrow for Parkrun!

Have fun and enjoy!

its great 25degrees as a high will mean they perfect cool running temperature at 8:30pm, as soon as that sun sets it cold down even further!!! Never thought that i would look forward to cool temperatures. We do think how will we cope when we get back to England in a few months - we will be like that scene out of cool runnings where the guy puts on all his clothes before stepping out of the airport

Blimey Vix that's a lot of altitude! Cool is all relative, I guess. Have a wonderful day Sweetie, stay hydrated and enjoy every moment of the experience. Can't wait to read your run report xx
