Magic wk3 done ✅

Wow that was a seriously hot parkrun. Luckily the Telford course has lots of shade but I still nearly melted 😂.

Pleased I managed to run whole course again despite the gremlins trying to convince me it was ok to walk in this heat. Glad I carried water 💦

Also glad I did my long run on Monday in the rain. Not looking forward to 7k next week if this heat continues 🤪😳🥵.

I did enjoy my short run on Wednesday though my legs felt so heavy after the long hill run on Monday.

Been walking, rowing and doing JuJu’s squats and planks too, in between run days. I don’t recognise this new me at all. Though this month the extra incentive has been to get a perfect month on apple watch’s 3 rings. Only today’s stand ring and tomorrow to go and I’ll have done it......yaaaayyyyyy!

Well done Dottie..rowing, squats and planks.. oh my! You’re a machine! You’ll really start seeing an improvement in your running with that extra core strength. 💪

Lol a machine 😂!!!!!! Thank you 😊

Sounds great in writing but the reality is a very different picture; very basic level of all ha ha 😂 but I do feel it’s making a difference 👍🏼👍🏼

Congratulations, Dottie. Impressive that you did this in these conditions. Have a good rest now.

Good one, well done 👍

Thank you

Great running... of course it’s ok to walk in the heat, but it’s even better not to. Weather is apparently going to cool by 10C tomorrow so you should be in luck for your next long run.

[Dottie_D Graduate10]

Thanks. 10C lower, fantastic, let’s hope they got that right 👍🏼😃

Oooh I forgot to mention that was my 50th Parkrun. Did it in 35:47; not bad in that heat if I do say so. And carrying on the celebrations I take my two granddaughters (4&5) to junior parkrun’s on a Sunday. Only 2k but they both got their 11 runs / equivalent of half marathon wrist bands and PBs today. They were over the moon. Hopefully passing on the joy of running to the next generation. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Just came across your post, so a bit late but Just in case it’s of interest, I’ve just dropped a rowing interval workout review in the Strength and Flex Forum. healthunlocked.com/strength...
