Just completed my first 10k in the pouring rain. My legs felt stronger than they ever have and it was so much better than running in the heat. Feeling really elated and soaked to the bone! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅโ˜”๏ธ

Good luck to everyone running through the wind and rain today ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well done, lovely photo. The rain looks like itโ€™s very welcome after the heat. Running in the heat was so exhausting, Iโ€™m so looking forward to it being a bit cooler and damper. Cogratultions sarah65.

How lovely to be running in the rain. โ˜”๏ธ Itโ€™s such a contrast to all that heat and humidity. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Took a little while to adjust from running in the heat but was ultimately more satisfying!!
