Greetings from sunny Malta! It’s a beautiful island in the Mediterranean, below Sicily, so it’s hot. Really hot. 30 by day, 25 by night. Not conducive to running but very conducive to lolling about, eating pizza and drinking during the day.
However, I am conscious that I am due to run a marathon in 5 weeks and so have got out running on Sunday and this morning. Sunday was overcast, but there was blazing sunshine this morning so I found the shade as much as possible, and ignored the looks of all the people strolling round. It was 28 degrees, felt like 31! However I did 3 miles this morning, got in several hills and generally felt like I had a shot at doing a marathon. My knees were ok too so maybe the break is doing me good? I will try and go again tomorrow on our last full day here.
And I feel great after it, though that might not last long. I’m sure there is a shady cafe somewhere I can recuperate.
