Beetroot face, just checking in 😂

When I returned from my 30 minute run this morning I certainly looked like l was giving a beetroot a good run for its money! Phew 😅 it was warm early today 🥵. Not attractive, not fast, but another run done and enjoyed 😊. I shall be heading out even earlier next time though!

I waited for the rain today before I went out.... I hate the heat thankfully I’m in the U.K. so we have limited warm weather.

I’m in the UK too but got caught out this morning by it being much warmer than I expected in my lovely South Downs and leaving a little later than usual 🙄.

Running in the rain is so refreshing, I love it.

Happy running 😊

I hear you. I'm in Spain and did my week 7 R.3 this morning in 22 degrees ... up and out at 7 am for week 8

[Hidden in reply to Imeldab]

Wow! 22 degrees! I take my hat off to you! I can run in hotter weather once I have acclimatised to it, but the temperatures here are yo-yoing at the moment and my internal thermostat doesn’t know where it’s at!

Good luck for your final weeks 😊.

[HappyNoodle Graduate]

It’s soooo hot for running. I’m right there with you beetroot red, only I’m dripping too. I left the house at 7am and it was my hottest run yet.

[Hidden in reply to HappyNoodle]

Oh I’m dripping too, it’s not pretty! Early bird for the next run, I think 😂😊!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

The problem with running in this weather is that you certainly can avoid the heat of later in the day by running in the morning around 7 o'clock but at that time the humidity is higher, so it's a case of running at 7am in high humidity but lower temperatures or running in lower humidity in the afternoon but in higher temperature, I prefer the lower temperature and just put up with the higher humidity.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Hi Al. Yes, I agree and was really humid this morning. I’m usually out by 7am but pressed the fatal snooze button this morning....... 🙄

[HappyNoodle Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I didn’t know that I’m obviously meteorologically (if that’s even a word) ignorant 😊. I was wondering about later in the evening what are your thoughts on that?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to HappyNoodle]

Late evening around 30 minutes before sunset is also a good time for a run, the temperature is falling but humidity is beginning to rise, there is always a risk of a thunderstorm in high humidity type weather as is now, I notice from the weather 🌩 lightning radar chart that there are a lot of thunderstorms now in many parts of England and a few in the Highlands of Scotland.

[HappyNoodle Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you that’s not too late to go out either. I might try it tomorrow only a 20% chance of rain ☔️ anyway I quite like the rain as long as it’s warm.

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you for that explanation, I didn’t realise the humidity was higher in the morning - explains my beetroot face after my morning run yesterday! 🥵

[Nilsam Graduate]

Glad you are having fun. Take care 👣😎🙋🏻‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Nilsam]

I am having fun! I don’t seem to be achieving much beyond running my run, but I’m good 😊. How are you and your poorly arm doing?

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for asking, we are good. Just out of plaster and in a splint. Thought I could get out there but waving it about doesn't work yet. Aiming for July 1st for maybe week 0. But we are fine. Plenty of lower body exercise and one handed stretches. 🙋‍♀️💪🤗

[Hidden in reply to Nilsam]

That sounds like good progress 👍🏼😃.

[Allbarron Graduate]

Fab!! All adds up! Hope your back improving Delly-dot 👍👍

[Hidden in reply to Allbarron]

Oh my back is great, thank goodness. Gave myself a firm talking to for putting my running in jeopardy like that! Honestly, I can’t believe I wrote that last sentence.... 😃 🏃🏼‍♀️

[dijep Graduate]

I feel for you, I can't do heat either. No chance of that in Yorkshire this morning we had a thick chilly mist. Annoyingly I couldn't take advantage of it today, so fingers crossed for a misty morning tomorrow 😊

[Hidden in reply to dijep]

I love misty murky Yorkshire mornings!! Haven’t experienced them for a while.....

Enjoy your next run 😊

[Timotea Graduate]

Well done you! It was supposed to rain all day and it was lovely but very muggy!

Cannot manage 5k in 30 mins, But strangely can manage 8k but takes ages.

Aim for peach next time!

[Hidden in reply to Timotea]

Peach sounds good 🍑 😊. I’m still working on that 5k!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Humidity seems to be the problem where I am in Scotland Delly-dot. Just like you I have the redest face imaginable and dripping in sweat. It's a good look ( its a good look) well I tell myself that anyway 🤣🤣🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

😂 I tell myself that at least it looks like I’ve been working hard! 😊

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Exactly, we wouldn't get that look sitting on the couch now would we 🤣

[CaptFrey Graduate]

The humidity is utter pants I was late going out yesterday so not out until 6.30 am. I am a huge fan of beetroot ( especially in a choc cake) I applaud your tribute.

[Hidden in reply to CaptFrey]

I like beetroot too, but yet to try it in chocolate cake.... 😋😊

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate]

I went for exactly the same look yesterday after setting off for a run about 7.15am - beetroot and sweaty 🥵!! But at least we still got out and then you have that lovely feeling for the rest of the day knowing you’ve done it!! 😊
