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.

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.

Hi there what app is that your using?

in reply to crainer

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 to Hatman

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! 😀
