It's been 6 days since I've been out for a run 😨

I just haven't managed to get out early enough before the heat!

Last Sunday I done my first 10K race, it was middle of the day and soo hot, I had had a weekend in Blackpool,so lots of walking aswell.. and it took my legs three days to feel rested!

So it felt so good to get out This Morning, 6am off I set, lovely and cool, I wasn't sure how far I would run today, but wanted longer than just 5K..

By 8K I thought I'd try for 15K but by the time I got to 10K I felt my legs protesting, the sun was getting hot, and I decided to make my way home...

But I'm really happy to have ran 12K after a long few days without running!

Glad the weather looks set to cool over the weekend and we can all get back to our regular.. longer runs πŸ™πŸ€ž

Happy Running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

That's a fab distance, well done! That 10k race in the midday heat must've taken its toll on your body, it's good that you gave yourself a few days to recover. I've only managed a short run this week, hopefully a bit of a speed workout today and a longer run at the weekend. Glad the heat seems to be easing off a bit!

Oooh well done Soarky! You nailed that rundown. 12k is a fab achievement as well 😊. Like you I’m so hoping this is the tail end of the nasty heat - so enjoyable on a sun lounger on distant shores, bloomin’ awful trying to run in! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thanks Frenc 😊 I've got some painting to do in the garden this afternoon, then it's the lounger for the rest of the dayβ˜€οΈπŸ˜Ž

12K, that's fabulous! And good for stopping when you felt it was enough, takes a smart one to do that!
