A lovely run in the woods - the Hamble Country Park 10k

The run walk plan really worked well in the heat, and not a bee or wasp in site! At a recent event, also hosted by Out There Running Ltd, and where I was marshalling, there were several poor runners who were stung when they ran through a bee swarm. Luckily the medics team were on hand to pick out the stings and off antiseptic. A this event, Ann, one of the medics, wore a rather appropriate T shirt, just in case.

I’m definitely finding hotter weather more of a problem during the menopause, and needing to slow down more often, I guess that’s why running and walking breaks is working for me. I heard a great tip for overheating, put a cold can of drink under each armpit! It’s absolutely shocking at first, but really cools you down!
