W8R1 done but too hot.

I took myself off to Margaret Island (Margid Sziget) this morning. If any of you are visiting Budapest, bring your running shoes. The island is in the middle of the Danube and has a 5km running track around the edge plus lots of shady paths in the middle. It was my first time running there and it was lovely but too hot. 26 degrees when I finished at 8.30am. My running partner dipped into the Danube a few times to cool off and, when we’d finished lay down in a very dirty puddle. I almost joined her.

Hoping for cooler weather but the forecast isn’t promising. I think I’m stuck with this heat until graduation.

Running in the heat is really tough but you still did it well done and I think I would have joined your running partner in the puddle 😂

Wow! That looks stunning!

Well done today! I enjoyed my run today too. I had sunshine 🌞 a sea breeze ⛱️ and a great big hill 😭

I'll post a picture later.

Enjoy the rest of your runs this week 🏃🏼‍♀️🐾

Great job getting it done. Sounds a wonderful place to do it too. Warm weather training now will make it much easier in the autumn! Enjoy run 2

Thank you for the positive spin. I did find running in London last week much easier. I’m sure it was because it was so much cooler.
