Heat wave

If we're lucky in the UK we get a couple of good days but this usually happens when I am in London travelling on the tube. So having constant heat of say 25 degrees takes a bit of getting used to. Fortunately we played golf early on and being in buggies offers some shelter.
Running my 6 miles at 2pm offers none! No shade,no hiding place and when you get any shelter from the wind the temperature rockets.
I have really enjoyed the runs and am keeping up a good average speed so maintaining a reasonable fitness level. With the Bealach Mor 5 weeks after I get back I needed to keep the fitness going, even if it's not on a bike. Soon it will be past the "yard arm" and a nice cool beer awaits. Happy holidays.
