Creeping nearer

Can you believe with the help of a fellow running partner even with todays heat although it was cooling down at 18.00 hours. The ducks all lined up again although gremlin duck did try and step out of line around 16 minutes on this 28 minute run. He was swiftly put back in line as the hard struggle continued under Laura’s guidance we got there. Week 8 Run 2 done four runs to go. Good luck everyone hope all is going well.

Congratulations on another run ticked off. It was tough going out there in the heat but you were tougher! 🏃‍♀️💪❤️

It was but was cooling off. It’s surprising how useful a cooling towel is that maintains the cold even after 40 mins of exercise. Makes all the difference.

yes have a look at Creative Products Cool Touch Ice Towel (Choice Of 4 Colours) amzn.eu/d/4ZBQys2 there lots of different runs I was given this as a Christmas gift a few years back, soak it before the run, squeeze it out and wrap round neck helps keep you cool. After warm up walks, the 28 min run and cool down walks nearly 50 minutes later and it was still cold.
