Hello all - am in week 9 and just wanted to share some lessons I have learned the hard way: not a good idea to run with a full tummy (give it 3hrs); not a good idea to run in heat; also not a good idea to do a run after 7 hrs of walking.

Yep, I made all those mistakes and still alive.,,,

"run after 7 hrs of walking". So many questions. So many. Should I start asking?
