Oh-hoh! 37,2 Centigrades / 99 F in Joensuu (Estern Finland) yesterday marked an all-time record high for Finnland, since the weather started to be recorded in 1914. Do you remember that I wrote one day about the stereotype, that most people think that it's always cold and dark in Finland?! Hah! But... too hot for me, my friends.
Ok, I am not in Joensuu (the aborigines say "Joe" for Joensuu) - I am in Oulu ("Paskakaupunki" *haha*) - but it was almost as hot as in Joe yesterday. Look in my face and you get the point... sweating like a pig. I was at the Kempele track- and field stadium in the afternoon yesterday with some colleagues to do some intervall running session, for some testing... great idea. The stadium (see the picture) is situated in a kind of bowl and the heat was just concentrating in this heat-bowl with the dark red running track... We were running 1000m intervals and I have to say... it hurt. But it was fun ;-)
Due to the heat I decided to do my running very early, before work today. I was running from 6.45 to 08.00 am - a good decision, as it was already 23 Centigrade at this early stage...
Now weekend ahead. Let's see what happens, depending a lot on the weather. A great weekend to all of you out there!
Sweating J
