It’s HOT 🥵

w8r2 ✅ and people, it is hot. I’m an end of day runner but thought I hd to get out before the “heatwave”. So off I went at 8.00 AM. Had a banana 🍌 before to give me strengths and boy did I need it! The first 7 min were hell! I managed to get into a rhythm but then again, the last 5 min or so were the longest ever. I do have a lot of hills on my running route so that didn’t help either 😂 But in the end I made it and even attempted a little sprint for the last min but I can hand on heart say that was a fail 😬 Secretly hoping I will hit 5k next week. Today was 4.26k... Fingers crossed 🤞 Get out there NOW if today is your running day as it is getting hotter. Good luck!

I've done the same. It's definitely a scorcher!

Yes it is , but also very frustrating.

I injured myself as I finished week 8 run 1 then had to have 16 days off .

Then came straight back in for week 8 run 2 and 3 and now week 9 .

But it's tough and still quite uncomfortable to run .

Slowly getting better though ! 🙂
