On Easter Monday it was lovely weather! Our main task that day was sorting out the big mattress swap, but we made sure that in between unceremoniously plonking the new one in the house and finishing the job we went for a nice walk. I basically showed Neil my weekend trail loop. And we had dinner in the garden.
The day after it was still nice weather. I made sure to wear a sleeveless vest for track training, but because pretty much all my runs this year had been cold (except the one in Birkenhead) I put a T-shirt over that vest, and a jacket over the T-shirt. But I didn't end up wearing either T-shirt or jacket for even a meter of running! It was so warm.
Some of my fellow runners were complaining that it was so hot. I said that was quite the contrast, as recently we had been complaining about that it was so cold."Yes, literally last week" was the response. It was true!
During these recent Baltic track trainings I had been quite aware that it is technically spring, and that the moment we would be quite hot doing our sessions wouldn't be far off. And then it suddenly came! And it gave me more of an overpowering spring feeling than the day before had done.
The day after, the weather turned. It didn't stay that warm long! But it wouldn't surprise me if from now on, complaining about the heat on the track is going to be more common than complaining about the cold, for months to come. And at some point it will be difficult to deal with, but for now I'm actually quite glad I'm not freezing my arse off when I appear at the start line!
