W4R2 ... having a mental issue ....

Mental issue... I'm beginning to enjoy this ... did the 2nd run of week 4, had Michael along with me instead of Jo Wiley, and it went well, I'm not out of breath or stuggling with the short recovery times ... things just seem to be flowing nicely.

The heat here is not conducive to running outdoors, so I'm making good use of the Gym, and the bit of air-con that there is.

Will be home on Sunday, in time to finish Week 4, at my home town Gym, will be good to see if the heat has made the running harder, certainly lost more fluids while I've been over here ...

Hope my friend has been able to do another run on W4 too ...πŸ˜‰πŸ˜˜

Well done coping with the heat.

Do remember that it will be tougher outside, but you are at the stage where the mental attitude becomes of greater importance, so it sounds like you are in a good place.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done on smashing run 2, sounds like you're doing great.

Was this not meant to be a ..... erm ..... rest day...??? πŸ™„πŸ™„

Are you getting competitive or are you liking the feel of those compression tights a bit too much...??? πŸ˜³πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Mmm, I do like the hug I get from the tights, but no, today was a scheduled running day, Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday ...

How are you doing?

Saturdays are a scheduled run day but both me and running buddy can't fit a run in today. So my compression tights will be taking their maiden voyage tomorrow for R2 πŸ€— I think my hips and knees are thankful for an extra rest day 😳

Extra rest day is not going to harm ... enjoy the tights .... πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰

I don't have a scheduled day, just run every other day ... unless there is a good reason I can't... hope the weather is kind for you ...

Looks pretty wet tomorrow, but that's fine. What's the worst that can happen..??.. oh yeah, my tights could shrink πŸ™ˆ
