July 2021 – Stats: 125,1 km (77,7 m) in 13 workouts.
July was not a good month for my running. The heat affected my runs and I felt very weak, for this reason I didn’t mind about distance and pace. I also had to stop myself 5 days to recover.
The longest distance was 11,2 km and the shortest 6,2 km.
This week I have run 4 times with start at 06.30 a.m.:
Monday: 6,2 km. (flat) I felt very tired and I came back home very soon;
Wednesday: 9,7 km (ondulate) a good workout despite the heat wave;
Friday: 8,6 km (ondulate) another bad day for my running;
Sunday: 10,5 km (ondulate) with an heartbreak hill 3 km long. After 5 km I met another runner and the workout together became easier.
This is the final part of my last workout:
And at home water and fresh fruit that my wife bought yesterday at the local market:
Seagulls - Here you can see the behaviour of the seagulls near my house when my cat doesn’t patrol HIS territory:
My car always gets splattered by the birds too! I sometimes think they aim at it on purpose, lol
ReplyDeleteLuckily that is not my car.
DeleteThat's funny your cat patrols the area and keeps the seagulls away! Looks like you still had a decent month, despite the heat. I hope things cool down for you...
ReplyDeleteIndeed I feed the seagulls too. I cannot wait for cooler temperatures.
DeleteIt's funny how running becomes easier when we're not alone! I'm glad you had a fellow runner for Sunday's run, at least for the last 5k.
ReplyDeleteWe still have very cool and rainy weather in Switzerland. It was 13°C this is morning.
Indeed many friends of mine run all together every other day at 06.30 p.m. but I prefer to run solo in early morning. Usually in the afternoon we are on the beach with our grandson.
DeleteIn this moment I would like to have cool and rainy weather.
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI like the guest appearance by your cat! And big congrats to Italy for the gold medal in the 100 meters! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI have 3 cats in the garden. However all of them are very cautious because the seagulls are aggressive ..... but not with me because I feed them.
DeleteRunning is very difficult when it's so hot. Looks like your cat is taking a vacation from his patrol! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is the laziest cat of the garden!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe gull does not seem worried about the cat, cute photos. I love the views of the water, pretty reflections and the market place looks great. Take care, have a happy weekend!
There are 4/5 gulls near my house and they never worry about the cats.
