Though I need #running for my mental health, what I don't need at the moment is running in the current heatwave At 5am this morning the temperature which hit a high of 42°c yesterday only fell back to 33°c overnight - by 5am this morning, it was simply unpleasant with the 80% humidity. Also, I've twanged something in the Medial area of my right knee - I think this is a result of carrying myself wrongly when I hurt my foot, and now I'm getting pain, because I'm not doing that gimpy walk!

So, it'll be physio to do to sort this knee out; stretching and isometrics for the groin, hip, thigh, quad,.knee,.ankle, foot And obviously I can increase my core workout frequency, so I'm not getting away with doing nothing, then hopefully (fingers crossed) by end of next week when this heatwave is forecast to Foxtrot Oscar, I can get back to some gentle jogging...we'll see, gotta be real sensible with this #Running

@robchapman@ohai.social I hate it when during those heatwaves, I wake up impossibly early in the morning, actually manage to will myself out of bed, and outside the air is already so hot it's barely bearable. Makes me want to give up on the idea of a run, and just crawl back to bed. Kudos to you for powering through it, and good luck with the knee!
