Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

...except when I’m doing Redcar half marathon tomorrow in torrential rain and gale force winds. Still it’s better than running in a heatwave I guess! Anyone else running tomorrow?

Actually I don’t mind rainy running. Could be a tad extreme though 🤣

Thank you! We run in 4 directions - 2 different out and backs so it’ll be with me and against me equally 🤣

A bit like my parkrun today - but much longer!

Have a wonderful run... it’d take more than a little (or a lot) of weather to stop you, and the rain will keep you nice and cool.

I wish you the very best for your Redcar Half Marathon tomorrow, good luck, just hope that the weather isn't too wet and windy

Tomorrow is also the day of the Great Scottish Run which are a 10K and a Half Marathon, I am going to Glasgow which is 12 miles from where I live to cheer on the runners in the 10K, then getting a fast electric train home and watching the half marathon on the TV.

Good Luck Tasha! You'll be great 😁

I'll be attempting 26 miles (ish) on the South Downs Way tomorrow with my club 😳

We've leaving on a minibus at 730am and will apparently be back at about 6pm. The weather forecast is absolutely appalling!

Apparently the bus meets us every 5-6 miles and there is the option to do as much or as little of the route as you wish. I may decide to spend most of it on the bus eating my snacks 🤣

Good luck Tasha! I’m also running tomorrow (Ealing Half) - with my goal being to get round in the 3 hour cut off!

Have a great run! At least we don’t differ from heatstroke 🤣

Ooh, good luck. Is that local for you? If not, then hope you have time for a lovely soak in a hot bath before travelling home again.

I hope your Half Marathon went well...there's a few posted about getting blown about in the last couple of days either increasing or decreasing their time depending on direction.

Hope the wind and rain were working in your favour 🏃‍♀️🌧👍
