Run 2 week 2 in this heat

[SueAppleRun]

Let’s go along the river our friend says, we can walk a bit then when it flattens out we can do the app then walk round and back, ooo lovely i think, I persuaded Willow to come with us as it wasn’t going to be too far and it’ll be cooler along the river.

So…. we walk to the bridge and acrosss, remember her walking pace is our 5k running pace, then the path flattens out so run 2 week 2 is completed at a reasonable pace, and we keep walking and keep walking, come to a bridge, cross turn for back towards where we left the cars.

Walk, see some sheep under a big tree, walk some more, think we are nearly back and keep walking, oh my oh my back to the car and it’s 9k 😀

Home, several glasses of water and a cup of tea, now we are going to have a long soak in a hot bath…. that’s if we can ever get off the couch again 😂 😂 😂

The river was beautiful and serene, but 9k in this heat? even with most of it being walking

Happy whatever day it is to all,

Sounds like a hot one, but lovely countryside! 🌞😀🌞

It was hot 🥵 but we loved it, Willow stretched out on the couch and went straight to sleep, but now cakes in oven (i think we’ve earned them) and bath at the ready,

Lovely photo on a wonderful warm day, the weather where I am in Central Scotland is the same. That was a very good walk you had this morning, well done, by the way I completed my 5th 10 miles run earlier today, I started it at exactly 6.45 am and finished at 8.49 and 30 seconds, yes my time was 2:04:30, early start to avoid the heat of later in the day 😊 enjoy the rest of this sunny day 😊

That’s a great run Al, our problem was I was at work earlier and friend had to pop to doctors before we could go out so gone 10 before we could start

You can bask on the couch - or in the bath - to your heart’s content. It’s very well deserved! 💪🏼

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Thank you 😊 well the cat was unwell all over our bed so duvet washed and on line, duvet cover in wash, cakes made and some eaten and dinner prepared and in oven, so not totally static, we enjoyed it but Willow is saying he’ll pass on the long one each week, I love being outside and moving further and longer though

[GailXrunning in reply to SueAppleRun]

Far from static! Take good care of that body battery. 🍥🔋😉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

😀I’m resting in between and don’t have to be at work until 2 tomorrow

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

A beautiful setting, well done on that 9k run / walk, not easy in this heat 🌞💪

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you, it was ok but we are really tired now

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Well done on getting a run done in the heat !Don't think I could run in this temperature 🥵

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

There was some shade for the running parts, when we crossed the river and changed direction there was a little breeze

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I would have been running in the river 🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

Tide was high but it was tempting

[CBDB Graduate10]

9k 😱😱🥵, I’d say that’s hardcore in this weather. Well done!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

Most of it walking but it was a bit tiring

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Well done lovely view especially in the heat. Hopefully your cat’s better😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Thanks Doris, yes he’s fine now and the duvet is clean, dry and sweet smelling

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Looks like a beautiful place to run or walk WaS! Well done on managing 9km in this heat! If it’s any consolation we’ve just had some rain which might now be heading your way!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you OGR’s it is lovely, yes it’s clouded over and the lightening map shows a storm heading our way, it’s cooler too, it was hot this morning and wonderful to be out in it

[LottieMW Ambassador]

It’s still hot here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 now at 9pm! Brighton defo had some storms earlier 🌩

Well done on your unintentional 9km! 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

Still hot here too, in the edge of the storms, maybe more later. Thanks, it wore us out a bit but was great

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍

[nowster Graduate10]

Well done! I did something similar this morning. 10km at 9am. Oh my, was it hot!

I sweated buckets during the run and immediately I got back, wolfed down a packet of ready salted crisps and a long drink.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

It was so lovely out wasn’t it 😀 I think it’s very special to be this warm and sunny this time of year

[Runawaytrainer]

That's a long way! I don't think I ever walked to the river from Lancing. Well done! My husband waited in vain for the rain yesterday. It missed us out, so his plants are still needing watered.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Runawaytrainer]

We drove to Cuckoos corner, parked the cars walked towards Shoreham, over the bridge, walked towards Steyning over the bridge and back to the cars I hadn’t realised it was 9k but it was lovely We had a little rain but not much

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Well done! That sounded exhausting! Perhaps your friend could go a little slower next time or stop for a short break. 🥵🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Lifluf]

It was hot, it was fun, none of us had time to go slower 😀and we only walked some because we are re doing c25k to encourage a friend
