Week 9 run 1 - feeling the heat

[telford_mike]

It’s not often that we get really hot weather here in the mountains, but today was an exception with temps in the high twenties. At last I can empathise with the U.K. runners in the heatwave! W9R1 takes me along our valley as far as a cable-car station. It is relatively flat, which is why I chose it over the more hilly mountain route that I took for a couple of the week 8 runs. I arrive a hot, sweaty mess. Tourists look at me quizzically as I collapse onto a bench and guzzle my water.

That was definitely one of the toughest runs I've done. Heat seems to have a greater effect than hills. The good news is that there's a snack van here selling ice cream 🍦 I reckoned I'd earned one.

Sounds like another gorgeous route Mike! Love to still see snow on top of those stunning mountains 😎

It saps all the energy doesn't it?! Well done on your first 30 minutes!!!

Ice cream can solve a lot of problems. Well done! And you're blessed having a landscape like that to run around in.

Two more to go, Mike. C'mon tiger!!

Blessed indeed with the landscape, and ice cream too, what’s not to like, and best of all W9R1 in the bag, only 2 more to go, keep on running!
