My last 2 runs, I thought Id compare them;
Kenya
Temperature – 31 degrees at 9pm at night (I ran at 5pm!)
Ran with – Kenyan guys Martin and William
Running Gear – trainers (my size 11s are now owned by Martin who has size 7.5 feet!), socks (now owned by William….perhaps if Martin had these he could roll them up at the end of his/my trainers!) and shorts (no tshirt, too hot!). No watch or wedding ring either (as I did not want me arm chopped off running round the streets of Mombasa)
Sweating – Broke into a sweat in the air conditioned room thinking about running outside
Thoughts – Tusker Beer (very nice indeed), wine and lots of all inclusive food
Dogs – the 1 dog I saw was more scared of me than I was of him (yes I did say that!)
Heating situation after – air conditioning on, to keep the hotel room cool
UK
Temperature – 13 degrees with wind chill at 3pm (but I hear the weather is better now than last week!)
Ran with – Liam, Noel and Mr Williams
Running Gear – new trainers, new socks, shorts/t-shirt, sunglasses (it was sunny for the 2 minutes before I went out and then within 10 minutes all the cars had their lights on!) and GLOVES (it looked colder than my previous run!)
Sweating – No chance, I could have gone out for the evening without needing a shower
Thoughts – Work tomorrow morning and the 8.30 meeting that has been planned for me in the morning
Dogs – 4, all of which tried to jump up at me!
Heating situation after – Vicki had the heating on….not happy!
It is good to be home!
