Good run for you today Pinkypimkie, not too long now until you graduate, hopefully it will get cooler before you graduate.

Not cooler, if so hotter lol, I am going to Spain this Sunday. Not sure if I will graduate there... I HOPE SO!!! 😀

It's even hotter in Spain than it is here, however, if you do run, run around sunrise as that is the 'coolest' time of day.

in reply toAlMorr

Will try, I have never run early in the morning... Do you eat breakfast before? 🤔

If you do eat breakfast before you run, make it very light, perhaps a banana, however, the best thing to do is eat a banana, drink a little

water, do the run and eat the rest of your breakfast when you get back home.

Thank you as always very good advice you have given to me 😀!!!

That is a garmin connect app I use for garmin smartwatch. Mine is the new garmin forerunner 45. But there other apps they do similar, map my run, runkeeper, strava if you don't have a smartchwatch. 😀

Well Done Pinkie. Could you manage to get out at 7 am rather than pm? just for these last few runs? In the interests of comfort?

I run on the North Devon coast, in the early morning when the day is fresher and cooler. Wish I could get a bit lower than a 10 min/K. No I don’t! I just enjoy my own pace. 8.27/K? You are doing really well.👍

in reply toHatman

I wish I could do that, as I have 2 small boys, so the only time I can do is the evenings.... But I am going to Spain so I will have more childcare, so I am going to attempt doing in the mornings... See how it goes! 😀
