Had a hard run today (thurs) it was sunny and hot and i ran mainly along the Coast Rd and seafront which had no shade whatsoever so it was a struggle,i had to stop a couple of times in the shade of a tree or bush to cool down a bit and get a breather.
The run started at Victoria Park on Rotten Row and i ran around the outside off it and up the entire length of the Coast Rd to the Plough roundabout,i had a break for 5 minutes while there sat on a wall in the shade as i really was overheating and worried i may pass out if not careful.
I then started the long slog down to the Botanic Gardens,through Churchtown Village and to the top of Roe Lane were i popped into Spar for a Powerade for the run back.
I then ran as per usual down Roe Lane,Manchester Rd and into town,upto the Marine Lake and down The Promenade and past Splashworld and back to where i started at Victoria Park where i had a well earned sit down in the shade to rest and cool down.
Overall it was my longest ever run,only by 0.1 of a Km but it was longer :) and on a hot day.
Total run was 10.5 Miles,next week hopefully i'll manage an 11 miler or at least over the next couple of weeks anyway.
