Not loving it

Just done another grass run at 6am , boy I found it hard . To be honest I'm not enjoying my running as much as I used to , maybe it's the heat & burstcouch as posted about feeling similar . Going to try drinking more water & see how it goes & hope I'm feeling fitter for Sunday & R.F.L. Take care out there ,

It's probably just the heat, as you say. How anyone can run in these temperatures I can't imagine. I'm sure the adrenalin will carry you through on Sunday and give you the boost you need. :) Other than that, maybe a bit of running-related retail therapy (RRRT) would help. There's nothing like a nice bit of new kit to spark the enthusiasm ;)

I've already done that , great minds ! Straight after that run I went to lidl & got two running vests £3.99 each all running gear in today . They are true to size ( vests are on me ) but normal short sleeved running ones are not , there smaller .

I'm sure it's just the heat, try not to worry. :-) It's not the nicest of weathers to run in!

Good luck for your R4L! :-)
