Too hot to run, but run I did

Dry days- 48
Days of rain- 37

I'm sitting in the garden, in the sun, and typing this. It has been a beautiful day, but very warm. Today was my 18 mile training run, and since I've been a bit lackadaisical recently I HAD to do it. It was pretty hot, and the route was pretty hilly. I managed to run all of it except for three points where I walked in order to have a snack and drink. I drank two litres of fluid on these stops.

The whole thing felt very hard work due to the heat, so the time of 3:21 wasn't great. Although, if I maintain that speed that would be under the five hour target for the marathon. We shall see.
