W7r2 took some motivation

W7r2 done. Found the first 10 mins a slog but got around halfway and started enjoying it. Definately got to start earlier for run 3. The sunny spots were very hot even at 8am!

I felt tired just going for my walk this morning, and although I tried to stay in the shade as much as possible it was still too warm! I must try to get out earlier for my run tomorrow, hopefully home before 7 to beat the heat. I look like enough of a tomato even in cold weather 🥵 ! I often find the first 10 minutes harder work, and I think in the mornings a slightly longer warm up helps to get the body move from sleep to run. Well done for persevering through the heat, hopefully a bit cooler for your next one!

It was hard going. But I also went to bed late last night which didn't help. Have you.found your motivation yet?

I am post op too, though not as serious as yours, but with the tablets I take 10.30 is the earliest I can get out though 11am this morning and it was very hot 😎. Congrats on week 7 Run 2.

I never said I was quick so just a very slow jog. I also don't mind getting sweaty.
