Week 8 Run 1

Well today was my first run of Week 8. I have a day off work so I did a few jobs first thing and went out for my run around 11:30am. Big mistake as by that time it was pretty hot out there. So far I have never failed to complete a run but today I was finding it tough going after only 5 minutes!!! I don't think I'd eaten enough or drunk enough water before running so neither of those things helped and with the heat thrown in I guess that was the problem. I did complete the 28 minutes but fingers crossed to be back to normal for my next run!

The heat really makes a difference doesn't it? Well done for carrying on.
