Ok, so where has this sudden blast of warmer weather come from? Didn’t really enjoy tonight’s run, felt clammy and warm. But I did it 🙌

Well done! Doing it's what counts. I also did my W9R1 this morning and didn't enjoy it so much either. But never mind, we're getting there! 😊

Just a suggestion, but if you can run first thing in the morning it is a lot cooler. Good to feel smug all day having done your run already as well 😄

I always love the idea of running first thing, but never feel I have enough time. I’m not really a ‘get-up-and-go’ type. I’m more ‘just 5 more minutes and another coffee’ type. 🤣

I did that this morning and it was lovely seeing the rising dew on the grass 🙂

Great job... completed and ticked off... 2 to go.

I’m missing the traditional wet cool summers and freezing autumns too.
