Too warm

Well there is nothing like a highly argument, a new route and summer rain to make you go for it! πŸ˜‚πŸƒβ€β™€οΈI hit 5k in 40 minutes. I want to do it in 30 though! It is so warm. I've got leggings and a running jacket. Do I need a running vest now? I'm back to looking like a beetroot, but because of heat I think rather than out of puff now. I think I'm wanting to run faster too soon maybe lol. Slow and steady. Slow and steady! 😊

Well hello fellow beetroot-face! We’re at exactly the same pace by the way πŸ‘

Well this morning was certainly a shock!... I think I’m gonna have to start checking the temp before I go out in the future.... I started c25K on 22nd December and have suffered through so many cold and wet runs that I thought the warmer runs would be lovely... and it was... but if 11 degrees sends me tomato-faced, how am I going to cope with 20 defreees or sunshine???? 🀣

I can’t bear the thought of a vest!!!😡😡😡

I find it hard work if I get too warm on a run. The last few have all been in shorts and short sleeved running top.

I'm not sure I will ever do shorts lol but I've got a vest now so I'll see how it goes. If I could juggle family life to suit I'd do all my runs in the early mornings. The lighter nights may help too though now. πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
