Argh, I stopped. Week 7 Run 1

Despite Jo telling me I could, I couldn’t.

That’s never happened before...😔

I'm also a ginger (well I was, as much grey as ginger now) and find the heat awful. I run really early in the morning as I know I would melt otherwise.

You can do this, just take a days rest and then try again - it doesn't matter how many attempts it takes you as long as you don't give up.

I’m also ginger and fair skinned! I find it soooooo difficult in the heat! I almost pass out and overheat! And literally can not run any more! I then purchased a peaked cap and a cool towel! And also try and run as early as I can! It works wonders 👍 it’s still hard but I highly recommend a cap and cooling towel 👍 makes such a difference!

I’m another red head -always took exception to ginger 🤣 - and I just don’t do heat. Give me dull and cool any day. xx

I’m only joking, it was probably already about 20 degrees at 7am... it’s getting hotter...
