Too hot to run

I put off my run last night because of the heat, so didn’t want to put it off again. Rather than 30 minutes, I did a very steady, very sweaty 10 minutes, just so I couldn’t feel guilty about not going out. I revisited the route I used in weeks 1 and 2 and haven’t used since, and was amazed at managing 10 minutes with ease after struggling so much for 60 seconds not so many weeks ago.

Back to it properly on Thursday. I think I might try a late night run instead!

Well done for getting out in the heat. Hopefully it will be a more pleasant run for you on Thursday evening 🙂

Running in this heat is hard but well done on revisiting your early routes! It's only when you do this you realise how far you've come.

Evening running is lovely, a lot cooler and nice light 🙂
