I decided to wake up early and go for a run. My alarm was set for 7:00 am (this does not sound early but it was early for a Saturday). As the bells rang I checked the temperature (on my phone. The days of getting out of bed and looking out a window are long gone) it was 14c. 14c is no big deal. I can handle 14c any day. I decided to go back to bed. I woke up at 7:30 as my dog decided it was an ideal time to lick my face. I looked at my phone again for the temperature. It's now 18c and I better get up before it's too late (and too hot).
I struggled out of bed and I finally made it out the door at 8:00am (it was now 20c) and on the running road. I felt good but my 5k run was squashed down to a 3k run as the heat intensified. By time I finished my run it was pushing 24c. Ah the joys of living in Australia.
This heat (and its quick increase) brought to mind what to do for my 15k run. I'll have to start very early. I figured it's going to take me about one hour and thirty minutes to finish the run. If I am out of my house by 6:00 am and running by 6:30 I should be done by around 8 am. That wont be too bad. I could handle that.
