This is what It did it for,inspired by the passing of a dear friend. Now it’s here at last, I’m nervous (hot!) and hungry! What’s best? Thanks!

Whatever you usually have before a run.

I have a small bowl of porridge, but give myself an hour and half to digest. Hydrate well! Have a terrific run.

Dont forget if you need to walk you can, many many folk do. Its a hot day so slow and steady will get you through it. Remember a Cap and sunnies, and take a full change of clothes and some water 🥛 and maybe a banana for afterwards . 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻
