Ugh. I don't blame you, I've ditched my plans as well Jelon - it's the same here in Essex, can't bring myself to do it, but itching to try the ice towel (or 3!๐Ÿคฃ) Early start at work tomorrow but will do my best to get out ultra early!

Iโ€™m mighty impressed with those who run at silly oโ€™clock in the morning - great admiration not to turn switch off alarm and go back to sleep! Have fun and hope itโ€™s cooler and ice towels work well for you. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Is that the Solent - lucky you very jealous

Well spotted Jelon. The Solent it was. A bit cool getting in but great once you start swimming.

Way too hot for me too! With Flaraflarkin, iโ€™m another Essex girl...itโ€™s still 23 degrees at 10.20! Worried about being very out of condition, but will just go back a step or two to build it up!!! Keep cool. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Just too hot to do pretty much anything! Hopefully we wonโ€™t lose condition just take it slow and easy as they say! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

I love this weather but it's definitely not good for running in! I've done every run at 5:30am, always nice and cool and seeing the sunrise while I'm out is pretty cool. Good luck! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
