What a fun run that was. It had wind, rain, sunshine, hail and a rainbow 🌈 Running into the hailstorm for the 4th km was a particular highlight🀣

Given the weather it was never going to be a record-breaker but I don’t give a hoot πŸ¦‰ For the record I finished in 1:08:41πŸ™‚ That’s a run I’ll remember for a long time!πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

Stormy looking sky behind you, congratulations on completing your Viritual Vitality London 10,000 in such poor weather conditions, not very pleasant running in a hail shower, well done, enjoy the rest of the day 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

I had a run like that Friday with the changeable weather! πŸ™ˆ but mine was only 5k

Well done on your fab 10k!... πŸ‘πŸ‘

Your time was record breaking in my eyes ... my 10k was a fair bit longer than that so be very proud of yourself! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks Tinytears60, every run teaches us something, even if it’s just to look more carefully at the weather forecast!🀣

I gave up on that... πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

Was an excuse to buy some wet gear running gear and us girlies don’t need much of an excuse to shop! πŸ›

But I didn’t really think that thru as I now have no excuse to run in the rain 🌧😳

Well done!πŸ™‚

Thanks Sandraj39, it was great fun! I was still beaming 😁 when I got back to mum’s. She thinks I’m mad πŸ€ͺ of course, but she’s used to it after 57 years😊

Wow you got to experience everything on that run! Running by the water sure looks pretty but less fun with wind and hail.

Thanks SaskAlliecat it was certainly eventful this morning. 😳 It’s normally much more peaceful and quiet along the seafront πŸ™‚πŸ‘

Well Done David. Oh yes, today’s weather was great fun on the south coast. The hailstorm must have missed us thank goodness. We did that last month and It hurts.

A good time and glad we were virtually running with you.

Congratulations πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Nice one. Good time too with the elements! πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡
