It is the second day of my summer break.
I feel ecstatic after going for a 10 K practice run in the late afternoon.
I left home ten past five.
The sun was yet to set,
but the unbearable heat of the earlier afternoon was gone,
and there were winds that had in them a faint sign of autumn.
I ran at my comfortable full to half marathon pace.
The route I took today was rich in undulation,
with one steep uphill near the 4 K mark.
I forced my way up it without slowing down much.
My body felt light as it should,
because I weighed almost 1 to 1.5 K lighted than I did a month ago.
Hard work and concentration during the seminar weeks before summer break began
made me less hungry, and I lost weight subsequently.
It was a pleasant surprise that running could become so much easier
just by losing a few pounds!
Anyhow, at the 6.5 K mark I took a two-minute hydration break,
and hit the road again without wasting too much time.
I didn't slow down much after that.
With one more kilometer to go, I put on a spurt
and finished at 51:58.
This isn't such a bad time, considering the heat and inevitable stops from time to time
due to traffic lights.
I will give my legs a rest tomorrow, and train either my core or upper body.
