Almost literally today. I completed Week 2 this morning and set of just before 8am, and it was beautiful out there but so hot already. My legs felt like I had balls and chains attached to them (my OH gets a similar sensation so I'm told - and not whilst running...cheeky sod), and my breathing was so erratic I thought I might pass out. So all in all it was a hard slog and it felt like I was barely moving at some stages. Even the brisk walk was hard going!
I can't help feeling slightly deflated as when I did R1 at the beginning of the week I actually found it really easy compared to Week 1, so got all cocky about it. Thinking about it though, I know why I found it tough; I don't do mornings but found myself up and about at 4am (sickly toddler) so thought I'd make the most of it, I don't deal with heat very well and I hadn't eaten or drunk anything. So I'm going to stick to my 9pm outings from now on and see if that helps. Fingers crossed!

Thank you both. I know it's just one of those days, but after a run that feels good, I guess I just want the same feeling again. God, maybe I'm one of those adrenalin junkies and I've only been doing it 2 weeks!
A good friend of mine runs 10Ks and she told me she was red as a beetroot running yesterday. Your not the only one, the fact did scare me a little for my next run (since I'm a long way off from her running standards) but I'm going out tonight in the cool.
