W6/R3

Last night in 27 degree heat I finished W6. Waited until 7:30pm but for the first time only saw 2 other runners. Lots of people sitting around for a picnic!! Had a few 10 second slurp breaks but kept running. Could have been passed by a tortoise in the last 2 mins. Who would have thought 6 weeks ago I could run for 25 mins.

Well done.... but maybe slow down a tad... there is a way to go yet.. and better to take it at a slightly more leisurely pace, especially in the heat, than risk the IC :)

What's an IC? It felt a comfortable pace to me.
