Hot and sticky running

Did my first holiday rin today. Up at 7.30, it was already 26c. Only managed a very slow 22min 2.5k. But bear in mind I usually run inside on a lovely safe treadmill. The beautiful surroundings made up for my poor performance.

Good for you. Holiday running is just the best. You can jump in the pool immediately afterwards and have a nice glass of "whatever you want" without feeling guilty because you're on holiday 😊

Kassiopi in NE corfu. Thought it would be cooler this morning as we had a huge thunderstorm last night. Not the case.

Looks amazing. Where are you?

P.S. well done on completing 2.5k in the heat. (not really jealous)

Good work getting out there on holiday. Nothing at all wrong with a shorter run at times! You pick up so many different things when running which you don't notice at other times. Great way to explore a new place!
