Longest run so far today. Didn't enjoy my Monday run, only 2.5k went too fast and listened to all the advice before doing today's run. It went fantastic, my goal was to do 5.5k and with the rain belting down, keeping the pace comfortable, felt good and finished off doing 6.5k (4miles) in 37 mins. Only problem was I had to walk back home 2m through farmers fields that had grown a foot higher due to the torrential rain I was now drowning in! Great day, keep on running.

Running in the rain can be very refreshing. A cap is a boon ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I always have a thin run jacket to pop on for the walk home. You get very chilled once youโ€™ve stopped running, if you are wet through. Iโ€™ve got a lightweight hooded one, which I can tie round my waist til needed

Best get used to running in the rain as itโ€™s something youโ€™ll need to do a lot of ๐Ÿ‘

I like the long walk home. Chance to stretch out tired limbs. I walk slowly and deliberately backwards to stretch out my calves.

You can do some shopping on the way back ๐Ÿ™‚

Thatโ€™s a fantastic pace!

Must admit, running has made me like rubbish weather! Currently looking outside at the drizzle and thinking how perfect it is for exercise!

Well done!

Yep not bad pace but only one long hill then mostly down hill and flat. I will have to drop pace down to do 10k I was at my limit at 4m at that speed. Just love the rain though โ˜”๏ธโ˜”๏ธโ˜”๏ธโ˜”๏ธโ˜”๏ธ Bring it on I say.

Blimey, Speedy! I was so happy to look out on a cool grey morning today- what has happened to me :)
