Sorry to say but it's still rather hot and sunny. We are lucky if we see clouds, rain- what is that? What has this done for my running? well it's not been good. How Bazza manages it I don't know!!
I started off in jan managing to get back to running 3 times a week, but the last two weeks I have only managed 3 runs in total the truth being i am just finding it so hard. So on Friday we joined the gym - why we didn't do this in nov I don't know (actually we tried and failed and got disheartened!) so feeling more positive as I can go swimming, use the treadmill and all the other equipment in an air conditioned environment.
What I love about my new gym 1) I can run or cycle there (depending on temperature) 2)it's adults only 3) all those annoying features like remembering money for lockers are not a problem
I wanted to run two races in April and March however because it's been impossible to do the training that I need to do, they are out the window. So races are going to be saved for winter and spring time.

Today it is so hot it actually feels like an oven. We don't have air con so there is no escaping it. At least with the can come into a nice warm house. Nowhere is cool, why he didn't pick an apartment with no air con I just don't know!!
Hi Vix, don't envy you running in hot weather. It's the devil's work int it! I am rubbish in the heat. I just get completely exhaused after only a short time, and we don't have it that hot here do we.
Air conditioned gym sounds the place to be til you can get back out there. Hang in there!
Yeap, I have given up. we are off to the gym in a few hours, had to pop to shops to get a gym bag, as The bag I used on Sunday everything kept popping out of it so I thought I would invest. Even walking to shops took so much effort, I am secretly counting down the days until the end of the summer. I can't wait to get back to the UK in April!! Most people go on holiday for the sun, I am going for the cold.
I sympathise. I can't do anything in the heat except lie down and drink something long and icy cold which doesn't do the running thing any good whatsoever! I just can't imagine the kind of heat you get there but I think you've done the right thing in joining the gym.
Thank you, luckily dry heat, I shouldnt complain. In Rio the temperatures reached 42 reguarly plus it's very humid and heavy rain. There is a town in argentina which reaches 50, So I should be grateful we only got to 35 and it's dry but from the UK it's taking some adjusting. looking forward to coming home in April for a bit
I will thank you. Just need to try that treadmill out, last time I was on a treadmill I didn't have much success. I think that will be tomorrows job, tonight weights, strainer and swimming! Had to buy a swim cap.
