Just kidding about the sexier part.

My plan tonight was to run clockwise to Still Creek, about 6 km in total and to beat the pace of my previous Africa hot run.

And I succeeded!

In a strange way I think I almost felt warmer on this run than the previous because the sun was lower but it was quite tolerable and not at all humid.

In fact, the most remarkable thing about the run was how unremarkable it was. Everything felt decent and my pace was very steady. As expected with the cooler temperature, my time improved and even though I stretched a little to 6 km, I still posted a 4:57/km average, my second best run of the year.

Although I’m only two runs in, July is looking pretty decent so far. Here’s to it continuing to remain so.
