Resuming normal activities

So it appears the back has been broken on our heatwave - we "only" had a 39C day yesterday meaning that we only equaled and did not break the record for longest run of > than 40C days.

The good news is that the nightly temperatures have dropped below 30C too, meaning that I could get back running in the early morning. Today was only a brief 6.5km, but boy did it feel good to get back on the road! Next step, do that 4 days a week; then get that back up to 12km and the marathon dream might get back on track.
