Parkrun 24: 34.21. Age-graded: 45.12%

I was hoping to do a little better today than two weeks ago (yes, I missed last week again).

I was feeling relatively fit, and had been walking up the hill after work, but it was hot. At least 20 degrees at 9am. I took off fairly well, but felt I was going too fast by the first turn, and probably slowed down. It didn't feel that slow, though.

I was OK over the back of the weir, but really felt it just before the stairs. I took the stairs slowly and really didn't have any energy to run until the terrain went back downhill.

I kept running after that, pacing with another lady who's always there, and after the 4km mark found a little bit to push. But near the finish I slowed again.

After I finished running, my face started burning in a fairly alarming way. It was so damn hot! Maybe summer is a good time to volunteer. After my 25th run maybe.

Anyway, I did go a little faster than the week before, but (apart from the walking part) I felt like I was going a bit faster. Never mind.
