Hot and humid but finished W9 R3 with a parkrun!

[just_me_and_my_dog]

Hi - It was 29 degrees C, about 95% humidity and no breeze at 7 am here in Tropical North Queensland, Australia but I finally did week 9 run3 as a Park Run. Finished in 44 minutes - but it was extremely hot and sweaty and I did have to stop a couple of times for my canine running buddy (border collie) to have a "nature stop" and to clean up after him. Also was so tired at the end that I had to go for a drink of water before I got my bar code scanned. Next time I will be more prepared but feeling elated that I achieved this!

Hey congratulations on you graduation! I get hot and sweaty even when it's near freezing here, so I can't imagine running in that sort of heat.

Hope you feel amazing!

Fantastic, well done! What a great way to finish the programme My dog comes with me too and loves it. Good luck with whatever comes next

Thanks for your congratulations! It's been from reading all your stories and the other contributors on here that I have had the encouragement to carry on with the program. What next? Well, I will do the Parkrun again and start to work on my speed and technique. I have definitely caught the bug, and my dog loves it. At the moment he trots alongside me - but if I go a bit faster, he breaks into a sort of gallop. I can't keep up that pace for more than a few steps, but will work on increasing that now. Thanks again!
