According to the weather app there’s a short break in the rain this morning, so a good time for a fair weather runner to run. What would I do without you lovely lot? I’d completely forgotten about C25K+ til you mentioned it, so I had a date with Laura and the Steppingstones podcast. Just a quick half hour 💭, maybe a 5k?

49 mins and 7km later my pace has picked back up to where it was (I recently got a lot slower after being a bit ill). Got back 💧 with sweat. Warm shower, quick stretch and breakfast.

I feel great! I’ll be trying the other 2 podcasts soon too. Happy 😃 running all you runny people. I’m off to work.

I always enjoy running in the rain. Even when it was icy cold, I was still smiling.

The best part of all that good stuff was the ‘I feel great’. Glad you are feeling better 🙂

It had stopped raining by the time we went out yesterday. I planned to do 5k but was feeling good so extended it. Because of that extra km I got drenched. But it was a lovely run, even in such a downpour.

I didn't bother with a shower straight away because I had to go out again to the hairdresser. I just towelled my hair and put on a dry top, plus cagoule. Of course the sun was out again by then!

I was stopped in the village this morning by someone who had seen me walking (squelching, more like) across the park as I did my 0.5km cool down. She said she could tell that I didn't seem bothered by the rain. She was quite right.

My dad said he'd seen a soggy runner run past his house. He said that they were mad. I told him it was me! 😂😂

In the last week of my C25K I posted about running a across the golf course in the pouring rain past all those soggy golfers - they must be mad, I said. Then "I suppose they looked at me and thought the same thing" :)

Hope all is well with you Baddie- we're thinking of you with this rain. I have always hated rain (frizzy haired sun worshipper) but I love running in the rain.
