Run #6: Hot weather running

New addition to our group! Michelle and her sister joined Mel, Lisa and me for our second run, which we intended on starting at 9:30am to beat the heat but somehow we ended up starting at 10:40am. Had a ham and cheese croissant for breakfast and 2 hours to digest. Very little nausea this time! I tried to keep up with Mel who is super speedy, and I managed to do so until we turned around for the last bit of our run in which I was lagging behind everyone. I've run almost twice as far as this before, but the heat + picking up the pace really wore me out quicker than usual (and everyone else too) so all up it was only about 1.4km. Doesn't look like the weather will get any cooler next week so we'll see if we get another run in before Lisa starts uni :(

Run #5: First run for 2014

Spontaneously decided to run with Lisa and Mel today - we joked about running together but we actually went through with it! 

Left the house at 11am --> Walked from A to B --> Ran from B to D --> Walked from D to E and back to D --> Ran from D to C --> Walked all the way back to A. I was happy running but the others wanted to stop and walk, then run again. BAD DECISION, it was so hard to run after stopping to walk! We originally wanted to run all the way to the end of the trail but we could barely make it 500m before we had to walk again...so in total we ran 1.8km. No nausea or anything this time which was much better - maybe because I had time to digest? Or maybe because I drank enough water this time (so much water that I had to pee as soon as we made it to the trail). We've promised to run again next Friday so hopefully we'll stick to it...
