Wow, 2nd run o week 7 was so tough for me. Changed my route, hot weather and straight in from work.

I had to stop a few times for a 10 second walk. For the first time today I hated running and I let myself down :(

My shins killed too! Lots of gravely roads (not good)

So a day off today, will do my normal run tomorrow, have a snack first and wait till after six.

May even repeat the run.

I had the same experience on W7R1 - had to walk the last five mins so did repeat that one. It’s really hard running in this heat so don’t be too hard on yourself. You got out there & have it a go. Good luck for next one 😉

It’s fine to stop to catch your breath. It can mean the difference between completing, and not. So don’t worry about it.

Hang in there. Slow and steady is just fine for this caper. Relax and have fun 😃👍
