Weather was very rainy but always when I was NOT running... so hot and humid as usual...
28/7: could not go out at morning... so I managed to do 9 km around my residential area in the evening...
29/7: 13km around the industrial area (well.. all the town is industrial area...) felt VERY awful.. maybe because of the humidity but after 30 minutes I was crawling. It is also true that all the road are paved in concrete which is really hard on legs... I felt the calves like stones afterwards...
30/7: for the first time ever I run in the 清溪森林公园 (forest park). I have been here already several times by bike but never running. I headed for a smaller road hoping to make some hill intervals.
As soon as I start the hill road .. a sign warns against snakes, bugs, spiders, etc...
10 meters later I see that a huge web basically is in my way with a huge spider right in the middle... I really did it in my pants because the idea of getting stung in the middle of nowhere was not in my agenda...
... I was freaked out for the rest of the run and managed 11k but aborted any idea to running fast... I just kept my eyes straight ahead to look for webs/spider and friends on the path...
NOTE: slacking a lot on core strengthening and stretching... I really need motivation.

.I think it really important to do core training, it keeps a nice all round musle balance, I've done it since I first started cycle racing at age 24, and still do core training now at 49 and with 17 years of running behind me, the core work along with good posture and running method is a key to a long and healthy life!
Get Motivated!!!
glad I live in a none tropical place, we have only one killer snake and he only lives in very remote places.
But going by the British media a new killer is on the loose, the 'FOX'!!!
