Touring Thailand for the best part of three week’s with Kat this month. Beautiful scenery, good food, good company and a chance to interact with a selection of wild animals!

Not too much time to blog, but will just let anyone who’s reading know that I’m doing my best to keep the running going. Nothing much to speak of, but did manage a 10K on the treadmill in Bangkok and another 11K on the roads of Mae Hong Son a few days later on an afternoon run out with our tour guide, Sonn.

Was a pretty interesting opportunity to see how I fare in the heat. And it was HOT. A road route, but quite hilly; and every uphill stretch was tough. Sonn was clearly used to the heat, and not even carrying water. Whereas I had to ration the small bottle I was willing to carry so it’d last the whole hour or so.

In the end I feel it was a pretty reasonable performance, given the conditions. Met up with Kat and the rest of our party by the pool to cool down and glug a few recovery litres of water.
