...go out in the midday sun!

What on earth was I thinking? Last night's rain tricked me into thinking it was cooler today...wrong!

30 minute Stepping Stone run on main roads with no shade anywhere and quite a few hills (well, this is Wales!)

Voice in my head shouted ,"go home!" but Laura's stern 1,2,3,4 got me through. No great distance but another run done :-)

Good for you for completing! I made the same mistake on Sunday. Going to stick to my summertime evening runs until heat and humidity lessens.

Viki :-)

I'm really tired tonight - that proper physical tiredness you get from labouring hard :-)

Mapped my run on Runkeeper and not only was it a smidge over 5k, but it was my largest elevation yet (told you it was a hilly one!), so I'm pretty pleased, even if it did feel like an effort.

Not sure I'd choose to do another one in similar weather, though!

Not what you're looking for?
