I had planned on running tonight at 8:30 but it is 29 degrees!! I haven’t missed a run since I started but I’m too hot and too tired even if I wore all 3 ice towels!! πŸ˜±πŸ˜‘πŸ•ΆπŸŒžπŸ’€.

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!🀣) Early start at work tomorrow but will do my best to get out ultra early!

I’m mighty impressed with those who run at silly o’clock in the morning - great admiration not to turn switch off alarm and go back to sleep! Have fun and hope it’s cooler and ice towels work well for you. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ’€πŸ˜°

It’s toooooo hot πŸ˜… you’d have to be wrapped in an ice cube to run in this! looks like cooler weather is on its way Saturday and Sunday so we’ll all be out then πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

No..this is the one time being on the IC is preferable! I cycled in it :)

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, i’m another Essex girl...it’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. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Just too hot to do pretty much anything! Hopefully we won’t lose condition just take it slow and easy as they say! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Very good call Jelon! That’s not likely to be fun!! We’ve all got to be mindful of this heat!! Running isn’t going anywhere! Good for you!! ❀️

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! πŸ‘πŸ»
