Thank you all for my sweaty eyeballs

W8R2 in 21c heat.

Just wanted a big thank you to you all for inspiring me this morning. Wether you are on week 1 or graduates I needed your boosts this morning.

I was trying to think of any excuse, from being too tired, too hot or because I got a stiff neck, just anything to get out of my run today.

But reading peoples comments encouraged me to get off my couch and just do it.

It was a very hot and sweaty run and I completed 4k in 35mins again so am pleased with my efforts. Wish I could pick up the pace a bit, but this heat is stifling, so in my mind any run is a good run.

And as my old fitness instructor told me, sweat is just fat crying. So in my case my fat is having a full on tantrum at the moment. 😂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😥😥

It’s not about picking up the pace, it’s about stoically finishing the sessions. You won’t go faster til you’re fitter and stronger, which obviously takes time. In this heat it’s sufficient to just put one foot in front of the other😃👍🏃‍♀️
