I wish! That's not too far away, but right now that's just too rich for me.Was on the spin bike first thing this morning for 45 minutes, then did a bunch of things I was supposed to do and swam at 6 PM for 20 minutes without stopping. Then, I signed up for my marathon in October (only $73, anyone want to visit the Boise area?) and immediately became ravenously hunger. I don't know what has me more stressed out at the moment, the idea of running that far (never have before) or eating enough to fuel my training. I have a hard time deciding how to eat enough already. I did make my peanut butter energy snack, though, and that should help.
Are Sockwas waterproof?
Percy Cerutty said:This race [The Aborigines], cut off from all other cultures and civilizations for countless thousands of years, is, as far as I have discovered, the only race of people from whom we can learn how God or Nature truly expected us to move over the ground. In a word, they appear to me to be, until contaminated by civilization, the only perfect movers -- posture, walking and running -- in our world. And they move differently to all other peoples. Put their feet to the ground differently. Hold themselves differently. Carry their arms differently.

Only the veriest newcomer turns up at our grass track with shoes. All our speed-work is done barefooted except when the grass may be dangerously slippery.
I've been doing some short runs in the forrest (4.5 km).
Tomorrow I have that 10K hill run. It's going to be sunny and very very hot (25 degrees celsius)
Here's the route that is 2.5 km long that you run 4 times: http://she.lundsok.se/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/SHE.pdf
Here's the hill profile of that route: http://she.lundsok.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/hojdprofil.jpg

I don't have any experience in running in such hot weather and nothing but hills.
I have some carb with electrolyte drink I can have before and during.
I don't know what to wear. As little as possible or cover up a bit?
I did a 10K a couple years ago in conditions that sound a lot like what you are describing. It was challenging, but doable. We all got sunburns, even the people who wore sunscreen, but not enough to make me wish I had more clothes on. I wore the bare minimum. Hope you have fun!
6 km under the summer sun at 2pm
burning asphalt,
"interesting" experience

Ok. Yes. Good advise.Right. Sunscreen plus a visor or cap of some sort, but little else.
The one 10k I did that was a bit challenging (several sand dunes) wasn't hard on me while I ran, but afterwards I failed to refuel properly with fluids and food, so I would recommend making sure you have a meal afterwards and get out of the sun asap.
Ok. Thank you too. Now I'm not sure again. Well. I know it's bad and that I need the sun vitamin d. But I also get burned bad if I don't use it. Really bad. I'm a red head...Line,
am i the only one here who won't use sunscreen? i know they say correlation is not causation but the numbers point to that stuff being bad for you. it only works on uva which is what your body needs to produce vitamin d. uvb is the bad and that gets through.
put some long sleeves on, light weight and go.
