Blueberry, you can always repeat weeks if you don’t feel ready - I couldn’t run in your temps and humidity, I go out early, it’s cool and breezy. Have you tried air conditioned gym?

I didn’t go to running group this week, I was too tired and had some chores I needed to do so I messaged my apologies. It seems a nice group though and I like there’s no men in it as the dynamics change with men (they tend to be more competitive).

I did the 25 min run this morning, had a little mental battle at the beginning where I just want to stop, but I plodded on and let my mind drift and soon 5 mins became 10 and then over half way. It’s a clever program. I am feeling improved muscle tone in my legs and that’s a good feeling.

No desire to do anything more than 5k though!
