Tagged along with a beginners’ run last night

The rain held off, mostly, and when it did come down it was refreshing rather than unpleasant. Glad I’m not having to run in it today.

Good for you Maddee. Looks like fun! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ How far did it take you?

I was hoping for rain this morning actually. I drove through monumental downpours on the way and on the way back, but during my run it was dry and very humid. As I’d dressed for rain I was way too hot, but ground out 5k anyway. I love running in the rain! 🏃‍♀️💦👍

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Just short of 4.5k, so perfect for the coming back to fitness Beagle. 👍

I hate when that happens! And you’re running along looking like a lobster.

I quite like running in the rain, but it does play merry hell with my glasses. I do have contact lenses to play with this winter, though.

I always wear a baseball cap for just that reason!

[Mumpark Graduate10 in reply to MuddledGardener]

I wear a waterproof running cap because I wear glasses as well.

Karrimor but years old.

Yes. I have a showerproof Kalenji one, myself. And it’s great as long as it’s not too windy 👍

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to MuddledGardener]

I do too, but if it’s really windy I still have problems.

[MuddledGardener Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes, I have to pull the peak down low.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ahh yes, I don’t have the glasses issue, but I totally understand that rain wouldn’t be ideal with them on!

Awww love beagles! ❤️ My little Lab came with me this morning. It’s great having a furry running buddy isn’t it? 🐕❤️

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Having two is even better 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

I bet! I wasn’t a runner when we had 2 Labs several years ago. 🐕🐕

My greyhounds prefer a short sharp sprint and then back to the Couch - they haven't got the 5K yet

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

That’s greyhounds for you 🥰

[backintime Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

yep, quickest couch potatoes around

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

Yes ! 🤣
