After the run, I spent all the rest of the that sunny Sunday on the beach, where the water was pleasant. In the evening I enjoyed the football match Denmark vs Germany for the 2012 european championship on TV. On Monday, 18th, Italy advanced to the quarterfinals after winning the final match aganist Ireland :) Italy will play on Sunday, in Kyiv, against England.
As above mentioned, the hot weather is increasing sharply and it's time to be careful about hydration. Today I've drunk water and apple juice (more water than apple juice), which doesn't contain any sugar. I think it is a simple way to put more water into my body ... of course I have to eat more fruit and vegetables.
After I had done a long run on Sunday, I ran 45 mins relaxing on Monday and today at 06:30 pm I am doing repeats (5 x 4 mins at 04:30 min/km average pace). I'm making the registration for a 10 km race that will be held in my town on July, 1st. Unfortunately, the race starts at 09:30 am and this isn't a good thing, considering the weather conditions ... but how can I avoid a race in my town?
Happy running to everyone!

One of our favorite drinks is a glass of sparkling water with a splash of apple juice! We call it "apfelschorle" - it is awesome in the summer.
You can't avoid a race in your town. Best of luck and have fun.
Hydrate well in advance, and during the race. Go a little slower and drop the hammer the last few miles. You have to do your home town race.
Good luck
A 9:30am start in the middle of Summer is really not a great idea. I have a 10k too on that weekend and we will be starting at 6:30am and it's Winter here.
We can always avoid a race in our town. Remember Vivicittà .....
On hot days I can't stop myself from devouring cold watermelon. Yum!
Soccer!!! I am surprised anyone in Europe is working these days. :)
It sure was hot at the beginning of the week. We didn't do much on our last days in Italy because of the heat.
You could try to add some limes or lemons to your water or fresh mint. That gives a nice taste to the water too.
