Have you ever run in a sauna?
When I looked at the weather last night for the suburb we were heading to for parkrun this morning it said:
"26'C feels like 30'C"...
At 7 am.
When parkrun starts.
Bonkers.
If you're from the US and not used to the temperature scale that most of the world uses that's:
78.8'F with a real feel of 86'F.
Like I said, bonkers.
While I've never run inside a man made sauna before, I can tell you that, with weather like this, parkrun this morning felt exactly like I would imagine running in a sauna would feel like!
I was drenched in sweat at the end. And I didn't even push that hard, coming in just under 30 minutes for this undulating 5 km run.
Anyhoo, coffee afterwards was good.
Getting in the pool several times this afternoon was good.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll do a run again tomorrow morning.
How was your Saturday?!

This morning, you faced intense heat while running in the park, with a wind chill that challenged your endurance. Although sweat drenched your skin, the satisfaction of completing those 5 km was a reminder that every effort, even in adverse conditions, brings with it a lesson in strength. Enjoying a coffee and a refreshing dip in the pool afterwards was the reward for that dedication. Perhaps tomorrow you will repeat the experience, because in every run there is an opportunity to learn and be grateful for the present moment.
