Well it's a beautiful evening on the solway and surprising hot - that took me by surprise a bit.

Musical bra to the rescue again - Metallica is surprisingly good for brisk walking😁

Was a good run once settled and at around 25 mins my legs felt like they had a new lease of life and could keep on and on - that's a 1st 😂

I on the other hand was hot and bothered and wishing I'd gone out later - normally at this time there's a lovely sea breeze which was sadly absent tonight. Once I stopped running I felt a little bit queasy although I suspect that's the blinkin hernia - had no pain and it passed over once I took a couple of deep breaths.

Covered 4.5k including my walks so probably just abour 3.5k of running.

So 1 run left - Saturday parkrun (with hills) - I know I can't run all of it - but as long as I get my 30 mins in I'll be a happy bunny.

Might even have to post the post grad hot n sweaty selfie - you have been forewarned😁

Keep running x

I’ve never seen a heavy metal bra 😂 actually I may have. 😉

Smash that last one up... I can’t think of a better way to do it than parkrun.

All the best for your final run of the programme. Can’t wait to see the grad photos. No doubt you’ll be very proud. You’ve come so far on this journey.

Forecast rain for 9am tomorrow - that'll suit me just fine😊
