Week 9 run 2 - one more to go

After 3 days of not doing anything due to heat, I went out at 5am nervous of whether I'd make it 30 mins again or if Sunday was a one-off. I did my normal route backwards, and went slightly slower, but just got home from it and it is done. Feels like such an achievement - it's even warm at 5am! Roll on Autumn!!

Well done you! This heat is making running harder, even at that time of the morning.

Yeah, this has been QUITE the week to get to my last few "official" runs. Very glad I took last couple of days off.

Huge well done....harder running in the heat, but we have so little of it in the UK ... I love the warmth...:)

Taking the rests we need and pulling back is essential, and the hydration levels... go you! Nearly there now:)

Yeah, I knew it was going to be tougher so I think I automatically just went slower - will be interesting, and also good that even after a longer than usual break I still managed it
