OMG can't run in this heat! Molly would overheat🐾 - we compromised and played in the garden yesterday. I'm going to get up early tomorrow so I don't get too far behind πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Get out the paddling pool and sit in it with Molly, a day or two off won't hurt and I agree it is too hot.

However, if you start worrying and anxiously ruminating about whether you can run again, make sure you don't give in to the negativity and get on it!

Molly looks sweet 🐢

I know how you feel I planned to get out early this morning for week 4 run 3 and it was already 30 degrees at 6:15 am so decided it was too hot - I'm rubbish in the heat and so is Eddie my Cairn terrier 😳 Will try again tomorrow 😎

Hope you managed to get out running πŸƒ

No unfortunately the heat and work conspired against me! But I did do it yesterday afternoon after work as a thunderstorm cleared the air so was more bearable 😁I didn't take Eddie though πŸ™ƒ

Same here - am away in the Dolomites and should be doing week 4 but it's very hilly and very hot so am a few days behind. Might try to find a flat route and get up early tomorrow πŸŒžπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Well that's a fab excuse! Just keep moving and enjoy those views

How's it going? Not sure I moved enough on holiday to compensate for the lovely Italian food and wine, but just repeated a week 3 run this morning and managed fine- so its nice to know you don't lose momentum after a week off! Week 4 run 1 later his week!

I took the week off for the heat too. I was supposed to start w4, got back to it when it cooled off though.
