Wet and windy!

50 minute run alongside the river in the rain - 57 minutes including the shortened warm up and warm down walk. It was pretty much a given that I was going to get no matter when I chose to run today, but wow! did I get wet.

I was glad I took an audio drama to listen to as I ran, as - despite the fact that I don't normally have a problem with running in the rain - I really do think I wouldn't have made it without. As it was I managed to clock up just short of 7k in the time, and was happy enough with that.

Well done for getting out there ☔💧💦 and for doing 7k in that time👍

Thanks 😀

Yeah, it did come down today, vengeance time. I can't say I'm the happiest when it opens up but with some support from music (or audio drama) it can almost feel like meditation. I respect everyone who goes out there against the elements, but after all that's one of the points of running

Off out now. Piddling it down all morning but you never know 😀👍🏃‍♀️💪

Let's look at the positives here - at least rain is good for the skin

... and the hair too My Nan used to rinse our hair when we were childrec, with fresh rainwater

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to mrrun]

I know what you mean.

[misswobble Graduate10]

It was fine! Not too bad at all, and oh-so-cooling.

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to misswobble]

Go you.... fun eh?

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

And then the sun came out???

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Brilliant run.. well done you!

I got soaked yesterday too!! Great eh?

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

It is great. Except. My trainers are still soaking wet and I want to run again tomorrow 😢

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ahh yes, that is a problem. Mine are completely soaked too! Maybe a good excuse to buy more shoes! 😉

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

I really need new trainers. I've had these a year now and even I can feel that they're on the way out. Trouble is finding some to suit. They don't make the style I wear anymore 😓
