5K 🐌 and not feeling scunnered 😜

Oof it was hot out there this morning even at 6 am but I knew I had to get out early or not at all. Hooray for early summer mornings and nobody else being about - that hour made such a difference compared to Monday.

I took it really slowly as I could already feel it was going to be a battle between me and the heat. And the heat was not going to win! So my third 5K under my belt, 37 minutes, not too shabby in the heat. I could literally wring out my headband after! 😱

For those about to run... I salute you! There’s no way I could do it now πŸ₯΅

Well done, I was out at a similar time for 8.1 - I set no personal bests whatsoever, was happy to complete it thinking I could carry one, I’ve got the 5k in my sights, but still 1.2km short so will be a few weeks after I graduate I think.

Well done Reggit I definitely think even getting out there is an achievement today! I didn’t hit 5K until after a bit of consolidation so keep the faith and don’t worry you will get there! I’m not bothered about 5K in 30 I’m just amazed I can do it at all!

Well done for getting out there, I had good intentions to run this morning but an impromptu bbq happened last night which led to a late night which led to a late start this morning, already too hot for me to run in so cutting myself some slack today and will set my alarm for tomorrow morning πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Very wise beetroot- I wouldn’t even think about it now. We’re having a bbq tonight so it’s probably just as well I went out this morning 😜

I did you proud this morning we make a great double act - sweaty beetroot 🀣🀣
