Whether the weather...

[Yesletsgo]

There's only one word for the weather here at the moment - grim. It's not sunny, windy, snowy or rainy, it's just grim. Grey skies and drizzle. The mornings are dark and it never seems to brighten up, such a disincentive to getting out and running.

This morning I decided I had to ignore it. Husband put the lead on the dog, who is rarely walked and has no idea how to behave, and then we set off. I did NRC's Triple 7's (not sure about the apostrophe but they put it there so it's not my fault). This meant I could run off on my own for a while but come back to dog and husband from time to time so they knew where I was.

The run is 3x7 minute intervals at 5k pace with 2 1/2 minute recovery. It's funny how when I run 5k I don't really think about my 5k pace but on intervals/fartleks if the coach says '5k pace' I have to really concentrate.

Ran through the wood and back to the stadium then round again a couple of times and the run was done. By now I hardly noticed the cloud, just enjoyed that 'I just overcame all the lethargy and did it' feeling. The dog seemed happy too

I guess sometimes you just have to face the weather! Well done for getting out there and for a successful run! 👏🏃‍♀️👍

Brilliant sunshine here - but not a running day in my schedule. ☹️ Well done for overcoming weather induced lethargy there though!

The errant apostrophe, what can you do? 😆

"...whatever the weather, whether we like it or not."

Well done. 👍

Nicely put for the weather, it's grim here too. A perpetual grey sky without even any separate clouds to be seen and sun is a word in the dictionary. It does make you feel blah I think. So nicely done to ignore that weather and to just go out there! Well done!
