Rain rain go away!

[SeeJillRun]

I don’t mind the rain so much but I do mind this massive puddle!!!! It’s too big to jump over without a run up n there isn’t room for one. It’s too deep to splosh through without getting soggy footwear n probably blisters. So I’m reduced to hanging onto the metal thing n inching along the little bit of wood that it’s fixed into, which puts a serious crimp in the flow of my run. Grrrr!

Rant over, thanks for listening 😂😂

Maybe bring a stone on each run and you’ll eventually fill the hole?

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

😂 Genius!

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

That’s not a bad idea! 😁

Not a 5K run but a 5000 metres steeplechase and that is the water jump.

🤣🤣🤣 🐎🏃‍♀️

Aww I just charge right through those bad boys. Love it at Park run when everyone is tippy toeing around them and you just plough on through with a big "SPLOSH" 🤪🤪🤪

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Windoze]

If it was shallower I would but it’d cover my foot n I don’t want to run with a soggy running shoe 😕

[Kertesz Graduate10 in reply to Windoze]

Henceforth I will always regard a large puddle as one of ‘those bad boys’ 😂!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10]

Ha ha ! Just reminded me of that Vicar of Dibley episode if you’ve ever watched it 🤣 where she jumps in the puddle 💦

Can you send the rain down please 👍

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Yes I’ve seen it 😂😂 We’ve had no rain today so hopefully it’s moving in your direction. It’s still humid though 😕

[HeavyFoot Graduate10]

Make it the mini-swim bit of a triathlon

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

It’s the nearest I’ll ever get to doing a triathlon 😂😂😂

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Keep a broom handle nearby and polevault?😀

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to JonathanP]

Ooh that’s my favourite idea so far! 😃😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

It’s a shame they don’t do running wellies huh? Maybe waterproof socks are the way to go.

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Lol! Yes, that’s be sensible but the budget won’t stretch at the moment 😕

[backintime Graduate10]

Is it too far for you to take a plank and just lay it over it (assuming of course that you have a plank laying around somewhere...

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to backintime]

Not sure I have a plank lol n it’s about a 10 minute walk. It’s not so bad when it’s not been raining for days on end, this is the worst I’ve seen it

[Kertesz Graduate10 in reply to SeeJillRun]

Or, given the strength exercises we’re meant to be doing, become a human plank... (Oh! But then how would you trot over yourself...?! 🤪) x

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Kertesz]

That would be interesting! 🤣🤣🤣
