Wow I find it so hard to run in the heat - I’ve just been out walked for 5 ran for 20 walked 5 then ran 5 walked 5 and did 5.52K it’s just a bit of a shame I graduated at the beginning of the heatwave as I’ve struggled with the heat all my life but the fact that I recover so quickly tells me that I will pick up again when it cools down (I hope) and the reality is a few weeks ago I struggled to run for 1min!! I was lapped about 10 times by the most beautiful mean lean running machine with amazing grace and posture and long flowing locks tight little shorts and a figure to die for....... inspirational goals? (Well not the long flowing locks or tight little shorts at 52! But improved style .. maybe!) I wanted to take a picture to show you all but thought I would probably be arrested under the data protection act! 😆😂🤣 onwards and upwards!! 🏃‍♀️👏🤪 shower time!!

Was the "beautiful mean lean running machine" male or female? 😂😏

But yes you're right, this heat is hard and running will feel a lot easier when it cools down. But you got out there and ran and that's the important thing, good for you.

And what's wrong with tight little shorts at 52? Who cares what we wear. We're runners. Go flaunt it 🤗🤗🤗

I hear you and feel your pain!! So much so i’ve hardly made it out!! I also graduated just as the hot weather hit and it’s thrown me. But you’re out there and that’s the thing for now. 👍👍👍

I think just getting out there is good at the moment so just do what your doing and we’ll all be super runners when it cools down
