A hot one today

Gosh, that was HOT this morning, despite being 6am!

Managed to get through W8R2 although the last 10 minutes were pretty gruelling. I don’t think I’ve sweated so much ever (yuck!) but got there in the end and, as usual, now feel great.

Weirdly the numbers tell me this was the fastest pace yet and I seem to have done 5K, albeit that included the 5 min walks. Happy days!

Enjoy your running folks.

Good luck with the heat. Definitely makes it a lot more difficult. Lots of water and you’ll be so happy when it’s done!

Thanks. I really didn’t expect it to be that hot that early! Oh well, it’s over and I’m glad I managed to complete it.
