Rookie Mistake

[Dtay1978]

So I had to go running in the searing heat this afternoon for the first time since I began running, being back at work has made running late in the evening a little tricky at the moment.

It wasn’t my plan to run in the heat, my plan was to actually get up early this morning and go, but guess who thought they’d hit the snooze button on their phone but instead actually hit the stop button 🤦🏻‍♂️

So because I hadn’t ran since Friday and won’t likely get a chance to go again til Saturday I didn’t feel I had much choice. Anyway it was ridiculously warm and I literally just got the other side of 30 mins before I had to pack it up for feeling sick.

So what lesson has Dion learned today? He’s learned that trying to hit snooze is best done when actually looking at his phone 😂

I certainly won’t be getting out in that heat again, that’s for sure 😂

[Dmc33 Graduate]

Haha. Well done for even getting to 30 minutes though!

Oh my goodness I don’t think I could run in the heat of the day so great respect to you!

Hope you’ve recovered now.

[Dtay1978 Graduate in reply to 61Lady]

Yeah about 3 litres of water and a shower later and I’m good 😂

Oh gosh! I hate running in the heat😩At least you went out though!☺️

Well done for getting out 😀

🤣

But well done for getting out there 👏

It was still hot here at 6pm when I went out. I was planning a longer run across the fields today but in the heat I opted for an easy 30 minute circuit in the shade of the woods that I was doing during the last couple of weeks of the program. Even then it felt quite hard going at times.

Oh well - there is always next time...

Awww so it’s at times like this you need to have the ability to believe me up scotty’ (a Star Trek phrase) ... and transport you to a cooler place to run!

We had dull and overcast weather with tiny spots of rain ...

but

Well done!! You did it 👏👏

[Dtay1978 Graduate]

I wish he had beamed me up by the end 😂

[Angelpoppy Graduate]

Oh dear, schoolboy error 😂 30 mins in that heat is very impressive though!

[Dtay1978 Graduate]

[SweatyHettie Graduate]

There is nothing on earth that would make me run in the heat - I struggle even in the ‘heat’ of early morning! So well done for getting out there at all!

And maybe don’t even hit the snooze button, just get up!! 😜

[Dtay1978 Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

You know what I never normally do, when my alarm goes off for work I never do that just in case something like that happens, Sod’s law 😂
