Whether the weather be hot

The BUPA 10k is this Sunday. My training is going well and my ankle is holding up well. The only unknown is the weather.

It has become noticeably warmer in the last week. The five day forecast says that it will be 21C on Sunday. If it is then I can probably kiss goodbye to a sub-45 minute finish and I will reset my expectations to sub-50 minutes instead. That's no bad thing as I may not be ready to run at pace for 45 minutes yet and doing so could agitate my ankle. Better to run and enjoy the race than push myself too hard and kill any chance of running a marathon this year.

Once the 10k is done I will have one week until my 18 week marathon training schedule begins. Fingers crossed I get through Sunday unscathed.
