The last few runs have bought various challenges but I've managed to continue with running outside through sun, wind, ran and sleet!
Last week my long run was a few hours before the snow arrived and I had a few amused looks from passers by as a I battled a strong wind and then icy rain. It was exhilarating though and as usual I felt amazing afterwards but was shocked to see that areas of my arms and legs were lobster red and looked sunburnt, making my relaxing bath mire uncomfortable than I hoped for.
This week I did a short run in the dark with my partner in rain that was light to begin with but quite heavy by the end and we were soaked, he runs less than me and I was quite impressed that I was controlling my breathing but he was out of breath towards the end.
Yesterday I planned my longest run. I was worried the weather may be stormy but it was lovely and I ran both ways along the river with few people around, a fasted run with just water and a cup of tea beforehand- 12.5K in 1hour 20 which I'm really chuffed with. π
Parkrun tomorrow then a short run Sunday as I put off today's run due to some pretty windy conditions here which I thought may blow me over!
Happy running everyone πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
