I hope you're enjoying your holiday Pappy 😊

Well done for going out on your run! I'm sure it could have waited but the determination you've shown is great. That does look like a lovely route, I wish I was nearer the sea!

Generally if you are going to run when it's sunny keep hydrated 💧 and it's a good idea to try to do it at the start or end of the day when the sun's a bit lower if possible (I appreciate though that those are times when you probably want to relax on holiday), I hope that sunburn doesn't prove to be too uncomfortable over the next few days.

I wish you all the best for your W5r3 run and look forward to seeing how you find it 😊

Thank you. I left it till 630 and yes I knew I was dehydrated as my legs struggled and felt like I was wearing bricks 🧱😂

I'm happy to hear that 😊 , to be honest, I should have paid more attention to the times that were shown in your picture, it's just I seem to automatically offer that advice any time anyone decides to run in the sun 😅

Well as long as you try to avoid running until at least Saturday and try to drink more 💧 before the next run hopefully you'll find it a bit easier. Every run makes you stronger anyway. I look forward to hearing about your next runs and seeing you graduate in about a month's time, you're a runner already anyway 🏃‍♀️👍👏😄
