Sunshine and heat:that changes the game

Went out this morning and did 15 miles in the sunshine. Although it’s pleasant, I’m not sure it is when you’re doing a marathon. It means you have to think that much more about sun block and hydration.
The hip held out okay, still taking the ibruprofen, stretching etc to keep it at bat. I will be glad when I can hang up the trainers and get the chamois creme out again. I’m in the taper phase now. We’re nearly there.
