Well that was brilliant 😁

[Run46]

It started pelting it down around 4pm and I was hoping it'd ease off a bit by the time I finished work at 5!

Not a chance, so I decided to get out there as soon as poss., the sooner to get home, bathed and in my pj's 😊

It was a slow run with being dark, the floor covered in leaves and pouring but once I stopped trying to avoid the puddles and let the water just drip down my face I loved it...it was just so fun that I embraced it and had a big smile on my face most of the way around.

Especially after running through a particularly big puddle, and running up a hill I'd only ever run down before because I used to think I wouldn't make it! 🤨

The after run bath and cappuccino were also all the better for being all snug again.

Awesome run 😀😍🏃‍♀️

Well done 👍🏼 not the ideal conditions for running in, but I’m glad you enjoyed it most of the way around ☺️

Thanks Rhedeg 👍

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

What a great post. You make running on a dark, cold and very wet November night sound like pure joy!! Fantastic. Well done you! 😊😁👏

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

It really was...no idea why, it was just one of those happy runs 😀

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

I wish you many more 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😊

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Thanks...you too 😊

Sounds like you’ve found your inner child. Look around a park on a wet day and kids love jumping in puddles, I wonder at what age we forget about the simple joys of life?

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Ha, you know...I think you may be right, let's hope she comes back again soon 😀

I think life gets busy for a good while and we forget to stop and smell the roses and be joyous...I also think maybe on this forum and others like it we're learning to live in the moment again 😊

Sounds fab. At one with nature 👌👌.

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Lol, I certainly was 😁

[Decker]

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Decker]

Simple joys indeed, made my day 😁

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Definitely, loved it all 😁xx

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

How wonderful! I love running in heavy rain - your run sounds just my cup of tea, or should I say cappuccino? ☕️

Glad you enjoyed it, and I bet you’re glad you made the effort to go out. Well done Run46! 👏👏👏💦💦💦

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

There was no doubt about me going...it's only injury, illness or ice I let stop me, or my brain would never let me live it down 😆

It's a good job we like the rain coz I have a feeling we'll be getting lots more of it 👍🏃‍♀️🌧🌦

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Yes I’m sure we will - 🏃‍♀️💦🏃‍♀️💦🏃‍♀️💦🏃‍♀️

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Only a triple chocolate brownie and flat white short of perfection in my book Run46. Who cares about getting wet?😊👏👏👏

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Ooh, now you're talking...maybe for my long run treat on Sunday 😍

[alisonx Graduate10]

Well done! Taking on the rain like that 👊🏽 I always find i don't care if it starts whilst i am out, but getting out when it is already chucking it down takes some serious grit

Rewarded with a nice bath at the end sounds perfect!

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to alisonx]

It was a much appreciated bath 🛁😊

If I'd sat down I might have struggled so it was in the door after work, changed and out...didn't give me time to think better of it 😆

[Miss-fuschia Graduate10]

Running in the rain is great! Hard to get motivated to go out in it but once out it’s soggy but fun! Just watch for slippy leaves!

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Miss-fuschia]

I know, was great fun but did take it slow coz slippy leaves make me nervous 😮
