Yep, it was hot and I think it was the first time I had my shorts on. Lovely and warm but windy yet again. I ran down to Leasowe and it was a head wind down to Meols - actually it was a southerly wind so it wasn’t dead fast on the return leg either.

Ended up running to the sandstone turret by Leasowe Golf Club so that was a 10km’er in total.

Did 10k today.

Start on the prom by the bottom of Hoyle Road. Face New Brighton and simply keep going straight until you reach the sandstone turret by Leasowe Golf Club (you pass it on the seaside run). Touch the wall. Turn around. Run back. Stop at the little entrance in the middle of the bowling green site.

Now with the wind being out in force it was fast on the outward and bloody hard on the return. Did the first 1.6 km in 6.20 approx (15.3 kph) ! Got to the wall in 22:10. I think its 5.1km so thats 13.80 kph. A right old plod all the way home into the strong wind - 4.9km in 24:31 giving 11.99 kph. It was starting to p**s me off toward the end.

Still, not too bad overall. Sore toe tips though.

No running tomorrow - off out for lunch somewhere with Sarah.
