11 weeks to go

It's so hot out there. I started the day with 10 minutes morning yoga, moved on to washing my car, hoovered it out and polished it inside. Cut the grass, then cut the grass out the back which is much bigger.

11 weeks to go and a 15 minutes recovery run. We went along the river and boy it's hot. My neighbour ran another week 2 run and we chatted and came back home to sit on the decking and eat an ice cream, which sounds way posher than it is.

Rest day tomorrow, I'm meeting a friend at the beach.

Stay cool and run happy.

Good photo Sola, glad you enjoyed your yoga, the weather forecast is for more heat by Saturday and Sunday so if you are running start the run at sunrise.

Is that a Dodo Sola? Sounds like you had a very full day. A great time enjoying the simmer sunshine with ice cream too.

That's Bob the heron Dexy5 at least we assume it's a heron, it could be a Dodo because it doesn't fly

Yes.. Welsh wet stuff... it is much needed here... the grass is very brown and even the rain of a week or so ago has made little impact...:)

I missed this! Absolutely love the photo. Great runs for you and your neighbour. Those fifteen minute runs work so well in this hot weather.

What a great statue! He’s so cute!

Thanks, yes he is cute and it's nice getting to see him, I enjoy that short run but my favourite are the long runs

You’re right about the heat Sola, it’s too much! When I run at the moment I go out about 6.30am to try and beat it! But well done on getting out there after a very busy morning and enjoy the beach tomorrow - I think you’ve earned it!
