Mega beetroot face...

I do not recommend running 5k in 28 degrees with full sun overhead! Now sitting in a cool room sipping cool water which I swear never tasted so good.

Safe running everyone...

Well done.. and where are you?

SW France where summer has just arrived. Think I'll have to get up and out a bit earlier -boo!

We will be in the Dordogne in August! I am planning on running before it gets light!

Wow.. lucky you though... sigh

Good idea to run early - it's now 32 outside- two nights ago I had the wood burner on full blast it was so chilly - very strange weather indeed!

Our friends are in Le Bugue.. up until a day ago, they were in fleeces and with a heater on in their motor-home.

Thanks for the advice...warmth.. I cannot wait!

I was tempted to run last night in the pouring rain, until the lightning strikes started. The chance for a cooling run in the rain was so appealing, the lightning not so much!

My poor beetroot face stays that colour for about half an hour afterwards, it isn't pleasant to see...

Vowing to get up early tomorrow - currently it's a stupid 35 degrees! Aye, lightening is the only thing I won't run in way to scary...agree...beetroot face is not a good look.
