Sunday morning steeplechase 🤣

[Jericho2332]

Morning all, just got in after a quick run and have to say I'm wetter than an otters pocket!

It lashed down begining to end, there were constant puddles some as deep as my ankles!

Decided to press on regardless but limited my distance due to conditions and lack of music (forgot to charge the new pods 🤦🏼‍♂️)

As this was my first run since I did my 10k I figured it would be easy enough... Nope! Was struggling with breathing pretty much straight away, felt sluggish and couldn't wait to finish.

Glad I did it though, be better next time 💪🏻

Off for a hot bath and a large coffee!

Have a good one folks 👍🏻

Well done you. That sounds like one of those runs that feel good in retrospect! 💦💦🏃‍♂️💦🦆

Brilliant work getting that run in the rain completed. Happy running 🤗

Well done on your soggy run- the hot coffee and bath will make it all worthwhile ! 👍🏻

Well done 👍🏻 You got it done like a pro, in the lashing rain and no music!! You really are a runner now 🤣🤣 Just goes to show, we can’t get complacent with these runs.. after smashing out a 10k, I think I’d have expected my next run to be a breeze too! So many factors can affect a run, from the prep beforehand to the conditions during. It is a fine tuning process!! But you did well to get out there in rough conditions 👍🏻👍🏻 Enjoy the hot bath and coffee, well deserved.

Well done Jericho2332. If all runs were the same it would be very boring. I bet that hot bath felt good.

I love that expression ‘wetter than an otter’s pocket’ - just perfect! 🦦 💧 And massive congratulations on jumping from c25k and over B210k in what seemed to be a single hop. 🦘

Well done bud - another run under your belt, even if you didn't enjoy it! I'm sure you'll be smashing out another 10k in no time!! 💪🦌👍

Just been looking at your journey since your graduation, you've been flying, congratulations on that 10k, blimey, took me 53 mins, to run 6k!!! 🐌🤣

Thank you! I think I've been weirdly lucky with my pace, pretty quick without really feeling like it 🤣 nothing wrong with your 6k time, the important thing is that your out there doing it! 👍🏻
