Phew! This was tough.

Got to week 8 run 2 and did my ankle. Took 2.5 weeks to recover and amazed myself by jumping straight back in with week 8 run3.😁😁😁

Could NOT get out of bed this morning so went this afternoon but think it was too early. I live in the tropics and it was HOT. went super slow and only covered 2.5km but somehiw managed to kepe going. So HOT. Will have to get my arse out of bed for the last 2.. determined to finish before xmas.

Thank you all for keeping me going xxx

Hi, like you I live in the Tropics. I don’t even attempt afternoon runs. I get up at about 5am these days so I get down to start my run early, even then it is very hot but at least the sun isn’t burning me. Stay well hydrated and stick to a shady path. Keep at it you will be completing the programme in no time. What a great way to finish the year!
