Decided to just run this morning my plan to run to town and bus home was scuppered as got soaked and not fair to soak a bus so just ran and ran and didn’t check anything until I got home. 5.9 k in an hour super slow but what the heck 😁

Woo hoooo

Did you enjoy it? I adore running in the rain. It's the very best feeling for me. An hour too! Well done.

It was great you can only get wet until you can get no more wet. It was good just to be moving. The snoopy music started on my run songs as I checked my time so did a snoopy dance at the cat while i fed him.

That's what my mum used to say, you can only get wet once.

😂😂 that’s what it does to you, it’s mad isn’t it, you’d think you’d feel knackered, but it energises you....I went out this morning and did 5k, I feel great now 👍

I am hoping to calm down soon but not too soon. Going to do some baking now 😳

Well done! So much for the 10% rule (it’s a guide that says only increase runs each week by 10% to avoid injury) - I have to say that’s one I’ve broken too 😬. Anyway you did it gently and obviously weren’t struggling so congratulations. Running naked is something I need to embrace as I tend to check my watch far too often - not long enough/far enough yet. 😦Saying that I’m just about to go for a probably wet run and it will be 5k so that my (non)parkrun time for the week might improve. 🤞🏻

Who needs a bus when you've got 2 legs🤣and once you're wet you're wet. Well done you 😊👍

I love running in the rain and the struggle of trying to peel the clothes of at the end when they're stuck to you 🤣

Well done CaptFrey - that’s my kind of speed! I have one gear it seems, a slow one, but so far I’ve managed all distances up to 10k and at an avg speed of 10 minutes per km I can more or less work how long my runs are going to be! Embrace your inner slow and join us at the back of the pack!
