So I ran instead! WK3 R2, all really good and feel I can run longer, hope things stay like this. So hot today wish I'd gone out earlier, but felt fantastic when I got in and I know I can always have a cool shower. Hubby says I'm burning more in the heat and I certainly could do with some extra pounds to be melted away! Ran on grass as well which is def kinder on my shins which are a little achy :( Anyway soon be WK 4...:)

Well done runningwild, make sure you have a good drink before you go out and after when its really hot. Its good to mix up your surfaces when running. One of my favourite routes is gravel, tar, grass, tar then gravel to finish. I love the feel of the different surface when I swap over from one to another. Good luck for week 4 ;)

Ooohhh, sounds like a running 'trifle!' (Sorry bad joke)!Yeah drinking loads easier in this weather, means I'm in the bathroom more but hey ho all for a good cause! Thank you ;)

Haha! Running trifle! That made me chuckle. The heat is tough isn't it? I'm lucky in being spoilt for surfaces where I live. Gravel, track, grass, road, concrete. What more could I want?

I'm coping with my 8 mins, think I'd be suffering after 30 mins! Glad you liked the joke, but worrying at the same time! Just the way I see things sometimes ;) Yes might try more running on grass now, as I usually run on a sandy or muddy track (depending on the weather) alongside the park and do suffer from tight calves. Good luck with your running... :)
