Oh boy, I really made sure I was well hydrated for this! Sunblock on....check. Anti-chafe lube on upper arms....check.

I deliberately didn't peep at what this run was going to be, just went with it and loved it. :) I know that tougher runs are coming up but it will be better when it's a few degrees cooler! I really want one of those t-shirts that says "Slow runner, please pass!". :D

Well done to all who have run and endured through this heat.

I love it!

And the one below I'll print out and put it on the spare room wall where I have my lockdown gym. :)

Thank you for the positive comments, WillowandSola! Hopefully when I go again in a couple of days this heat will break. Lots of rain and storms everywhere apart from here, even though we have been on Yellow Alert for ages. I want to run in the summer rain!

It’s not raining here yet, but apparently storms in the channel, we are running tomorrow so hoping it’s not pouring down
