Lol I got about 200 yards this morning and almost turned back! It’s been SO long since I ran in the rain, I always seem to miss it. Not today however!

Anyway, off I went, nodding at other bedraggled running folk who all just rolled their eyes at me, as in why on earth do we do this!

I joined up 2 routes to make a longer route and despite the weather, genuinely really enjoyed it. I wasn’t going to break any records today, as my glasses were a bit misty despite my peaked cap and puddle dodging, oh, and also wringing my top out every so often! I found a little wooded footpath I’ve not been down before which made a nice change, although I’m not so used to running on earth and grass.

Glad to be home and having a nice cup of coffee, and hoping everyone else has a great Sunday whatever you’re up to! πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ¦ΆπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘ŸπŸ¦΅πŸ¦ΆπŸ’§

That's a great run and pace πŸ˜πŸ‘Well done ! Especially in the rain .

It puts my 3k today well and truly in the shadows, and I didn't even get wet 🀣

Bravo Frenc! There's something extra smug about running in the rain, it makes you feel like a superior being! πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ Seriously though, hats off to you for doing a long run in it - great pace too!

Ooh well done Frenc!! I admire you for running in such conditions..and for so far πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Times are great.. I'd be thrilled with them 😊

Hope you well rested now and enjoyed your cuppa β˜•πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹

Well done! I used to like running in the rain, but lately I feel really bad (physically) afterwards, so I try to avoid it. Though it may be rain and cold combined that is bad for me. Yesterday I ran half my 30 minutes in drizzling rain and felt fine afterwards. But it was not cold. So...

And wowzers, 11 km? 😳

Ah thanks limu_mu. I know what you mean about 10k, it can be daunting! I found myself getting quite a few niggles after them but have been doing leg strength to help and fingers crossed I feel stronger. All the best! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘£πŸ¦΅

Well done you for running in the rain and being brave enough to venture off road! I kept to the pavements today because of the threat of rain. It didn't actually rain until I got the lawn mower outπŸ˜€πŸ˜€.Happy running.

Thank you Snail61! Isn’t that typical - as soon as you get the mower out, the rain starts πŸ˜†. Or maybe that was a good thing?! All the best.
