A blleorchhrrrttpht run! But I got it done!

Okay, the picture doesn’t look so bad. But the weather was absolutely awful this morning. I prevaricated for a bit, as it was snowing outside, in a very wet and windy way. Hubby went out for a walk, just showing off!

I then decided to just put on my running clothes for my work-at-home day and commit to running on my lunchtime break. No matter the weather. Hmm.

Lunchtime came. OK, so it wasn’t snowing anymore. But after moaning and whimpering a bit, with hubby trying to chivvy me along, I stepped out the door … where a blustery ice cold wind threw a bucket full of rain drops into my face, and I escaped again inside.

A minute more of whimpering and whining, and then I just pulled up my big girl pants and headed out there.

So after 3 failed attempts, I finally completed today’s 30 minute run. I didn’t manage to warm up. It didn’t feel good.

But I got it done.

“Happy” running, everyone!!

Well done you. I'm in the prevaricating camp! Run postponed until tomorrow 😪

Sometimes those “just get it done” runs have to be done! Was it one of your plan runs? It’s always extra nice when you can literally tick it off! ✔️

Yes. I think the plan was the crucial element for giving me a nudge to head out.

And the knowledge that if I don’t today, than I’d run Fri and Sun, but Sunday I want to join a group row. So it takes a whole lot of different fitness communities to keep me on track! 🤣🤣🤣 At least in weather like today!

You're brave. I would probably have stayed in my pjs and had a cuppa!!

Yeah, me too. Cuppa and pjs definitely sound much cozier!

Yey!!!! Yeah, it’s these runs that we can be really proud of, rather than the ones where the sun is shining and it’s easy to get out there.

Well done CBDB. I confess I looked at the weekly forecast and planned the runs on the driest days. I still ended up in drizzle, but not those really wet and cold downpours. It can be exhilarating though, and you feel quite alive when it’s over! A bit like cold water swimming I guess.

Exhilarating like a wet cat, I felt more like. 🤣🤣🤣

Well, my schedule made get out there, as I planning to do a regular morning community row on Sunday during my usual running time. So now I cannot be completely free with the days I run anymore. And that day was a running day.

Funny, what keeps us on track!
