If I had any doubt about it, I now know for sure ... I am a cool weather girl. Compared to my last walks in 26+degrees weather, when I struggled to keep a rhythm, walking today in a cool 15 degrees was heavenly. The only downpoint to the walk was the rain.
I woke up early as usual, but one look outside told me I would have to wait to gear up : it was raining cats and dogs. Twice, I thought the rain had let up, but when I opened the front door, ready to go out ... it was pouring down again.
Finally after 2 hours, my patience was rewarded and before I could change my mind, I rushed outside and started walking. Thanks to the cool weather I managed to keep an average 9min/km pace and I felt energised. However the rain wouldn't let up and after getting soaked midway, I decided to cut the walk slightly short. One week from my holidays, I didn't feel like risking a bad cold by walking in the wind in wet clothes. So in the end, I only did 7.5K out of the scheduled 10K.
Weightwise, things have been looking up as well. After a couple of weeks of near standstill, I seem to be on a downward slope again. Things are looking up.
Going to the hospital tomorrow to get some bloodworks done. The programme is starting.
Until tomorrow ...
