Lunchtime run so hard!

W8R2 ✅ but it’s sooo muggy out there! Breathing felt hard and legs felt tired but that run is now done! Don’t think it helped I tried an audiobook instead of my usual playlist I didn’t have my usual uplifting tracks when I was getting tired towards the end. At least I know now I prefer music 😁

Great job getting a tough run done... that just shows that you are tougher. Enjoy run 3, with your music back, it’s all good learning... then it’s time for your victory lap!

Just been walking and yes it’s horribly humid right now. No idea how you can run in that.

Well run R178...it was hot out running today! You nailed it, even though it was tough! Back to music for Wk8 R3...Good luck... ( a running buff soaked in cold water worn around your neck can help keep you cooler.) 😊xx

Yes - very muggy today - I was dripping when I got back!! (and resembling a beetroot as usual!)

Yes me too! Doesn’t take me much effort to look beetroot colour 😁
