I had to work for it tonight, as I knew I would. It was only 4 miles or so, but I hadn’t run for 4 days, and had missed my long run at the weekend. There wasn’t a lot of air around, and what there was was dense and hot and heavy. Like me. I felt bloated and unfit and awkward, and the sweat! It came off me in bucketloads. But the pace was reasonable at 9:59 a mile.
I’m still sweating now, even after a shower and change of clothes and a meal. Let’s hope our house insurance covers us for flooding, as I’ve a feeling that in the morning we’re going to be wading through 2 or 3 feet of the stuff.
