Wow! Hot there Coacao!

It was lovely here, but I decided on a treadmill run/strength workout.

I did 10 minute warmup - 4 miles @ 7.5mph and 1.2m cool down. Worked out to 10K in 53:30 total. The tempo pace felt remarkably good!

Stretching and strength followed.

Sitting at my desk watching people workout. I will run later with the kiddies as they ride their bikes. Hopefully at least 5km but I will let them decide the distance. There will be slurpees and a lake swim after.

7k of hill repeats on an evening in Burnaby, thankfully it was cooler in the shade where we were running after a hot day (by Vancouver standards).

5 miles for runpub. Just two of us tonight.

I was feeling the heat and apparently dehydrated... Downed three glasses of water at the pub (and a Bellini!).

5.58 km in 40 minutes on a warm and humid night. 21°C with 73% humidity, feels like 27°C at 10:30 at night!
