The hardest part is getting out the door...

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 🙂

I think I need to try the podcasts again. I tried after graduation and just couldn't do it or keep the pace and beat, just got frustrated! so well done u

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! 😂😂

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to Ang33333]

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.

Waiting for the dam to burst in Whaley. The boats are in the path of the water WHEN it breaches. They say it's definitely going to go...

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Just seen the pictures here Baddie. Oh Golly! Hope you are safe X

[Sharuns Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Pleased to wake up and see that it is still holding and emergency repairs are in progress.
