I'm doing ok, halfway through day 10. I've done 109km so far so I'm massively behind - fucking up the race last week messed up the plan and it's hard to fit in long runs during the week (I really wish I'd done this when I was working from home, I am SO FUCKING SICK of running with a laptop in a rucksack). I'm struggling for motivation in general, not really eating properly and sleeping really badly (those things are all ongoing, connected issues) but the thing that's destroying me is the weather... Today is "not humid" and it's 78% humidity. At night it gets down to 25 degrees. I simply cannot drink enough to replace how much I'm sweating, also I'm grossing people out by wringing out my shirt at traffic lights. Hmm so maybe I'm not doing so ok. This weekend I have a 2 hour flight and 11 hour train journey, but will spend some time in a city even fucking hotter than here, so let's see how much running I get done.
