Sun is shining - no motivation! :(

[Moonim]

The sun is shining and I've got no motivation to get out there and run! All I can think about is how hot its going to make me and how I hate feeling that hot :((( plus my head is having a party without inviting me! Bad times, wonder if I leave it till 7ish I'd feel better.... ?

Don't run if you think it'll be too hot - that'll just confirm all your bad thoughts. But just think how great it will feel tonight when you run in the cool of the evening and come home all pleased with yourself. Go on, treat yourself!

I hate running in the heat too (a very rare occurence since I took this up in December last year lol!) so I am waiting as long as possible before going up the shady woods with the dog (who desperately needs a trim so is also feeling the heat). Advice would be to take it really slow and take water.

Definitely wait til 7pm. I did the same thing yesterday and found running under trees in the park helped keep me cool. Drink plenty of water when you get back! Keep it up. I just missed a whole week but glad I went on to the next level W3D1 without a problem. Am 67 and haven't done any exercise for years!!

Good luck.

I hate running in the heat. I actually started my run at 9.45pm last night and was so glad I did it.

I run in the early morning (never really been an early bird before, so two things to tackle) and I love it. So if it's too hot for you tonight, what about an early one?

I go out at 6am and it's beautiful, peaceful with the stunning sunrise and loads of birds usually as company, it lifts your spirit in so many ways that it's worth it.
