As I set off this morning, bit of drizzle. At 1k absolutely chucking it down. Rung out my hat,socks, top when got home. Freezing but still did not mind. I think this might define me as a runner or mental.

Are you going to run with Baddiethepirate later this month?

I was planning to but I’m likely to have a clash now I’m afraid.

I was hoping to see a friendly and familiar face. I feel a bit more anxious about this meet. I felt like I had known Flaraflarkin forever and it was easy to meet others because she was going to be there.

I just need to get a grip.

Hope we meet again in the near future and that you are getting close to that 10mile goal.

They’ll be fine. There will be plenty of friendly faces - it’s a park run!

I know you are right. Running with a pirate will probably end up press ganged and on a ship to Hispaniola

Scrunched up newspaper stuffed into them usually does the trick

Yup, definitely a runner.....and I think we’re all a little mental😁......

I got home from work, the sun was still up, we were no longer in an extreme cold warning but still a little breezy. Quickly made breakfast for supper (I love breakfast for supper), did dishes, sun was still up so quickly got on my gear and got in a run just as the sun was setting ....: totally mental and totally worth it!

Love it, fellow runner 😊

Bet it felt great though didn’t it? Except when it’s lashing down and windy. That’s not such fun ..... 💨 💦

Yes it did until I stopped then felt soggy and cold. It won't put me off though.

I’m pretty sure the two aren’t mutually exclusive! Well done on your torrential run 🙂

It was so wet there was a chance I could have developed webbed feet. I would then have had to waddle. Would have made a change from a shuffle.

Hope you are well

Probably both :)

Aren't all runners a bit mental? Lol But yes, I suspect this does define you as a runner now. By the looks of the forecast, I'm trying out my new waterproof jacket tomorrow! :)

Tomorrow morning is a run for me too. Hope you don't need your jacket. Enjoy the run whatever the weather.
