Long run? Err, think I’ll wait a bit 🌧

As the forecast was for cooler, showery weather after several 30C+ days (it was 24 at 6.30am on Friday 🥵) I thought I’d attempt 14k again today. Hmmm, not in this I won’t!

Oh go on Sandie, it's only water and after a while you don't feel it. Once you're wet you're wet ☔️☔️

And that gushing water is just calling out for a water butt underneath!

It was originally attached to a water tower which is what the black cube in the photo is, but it started to crack and our neighbour, who it belongs to, decided to disconnect it so that it wouldn’t collapse and flood everywhere!

Ahh! Such a shame as it would hold a lot of water.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

That’s the problem. He told us it holds 3 x 25m swimming pools. Don’t know how true that is, but it is a lot of water 💦

I don’t know Sandie, I’d be tempted! 🏃‍♀️💦 I love running in the rain (I’m picking my long run based on the wettest day forecast for this week - seriously!)

But we’re all different and I’d be the one balking about running a long way in the sunshine! Odd lot, us runners! 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃

Enjoy your next run! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I don’t mind a bit of rain, but it was torrential and I haven’t got my thin waterproof running jacket here! Just a gentle drizzle now, so I’m off 🏃‍♀️

Hey Sandie, nothing nicer than wringing out all your running gear and scrubbing the mud off your shoes! Since when did double pneumonia ever hurt anyone?

It improved and have just got back from running 10 miles 👏👏👏
