Yes, exactly! As long as you don’t have to swim through it, it’s still running. :D

Graph showing running data: heart rate 122bpm, distance 15.04k and a pace of 6:12/km.

Inundated road through the forest. A house can be seen in the background.

Had a very wet long run this weekend. The skies decided to send me a downpour to accompany me. Of course that didn’t stop me ;) Not even the huge inundation on the road on my way back home.

A field next to a road under a blue sky. The field has recently been harvested and seems to have had rape growing on it.

Did a shorter run than usual because yesterday I ventured out on the bike for some cross training. That was fun and it was a welcome change from the running routine.

A hot and humid long run today that made me feel like I had done far more than the half marathon distance.

I did my long run today after a busy week with running for 3 consecutive days, followed by a bike ride yesterday. I struggled a bit motivationally but afterward was glad I did it. You probably know what I mean :-)

Mountain trail which is part of my running course, showing additional stats for distance, time and pace.

Another run in the summer heat today, doing 17k. By now, I’ve become a bit used to the heat and do not need as much hydration during the workout as before. I went for a little swim in the afternoon to cool off a bit.

Just completed my long run for this week, which was a lot shorter than usual. We’ve got a heat wave here and I’m planning to go for a swim as well :D
