W5R1 - A drenching in more ways than one!

Really enjoyed this run, Mr Lottidog freaked when he saw that I was going to run in the rain - I explained to him that I loved running in the wet, but he was nagging on about catching a cold etc. Anyway, I did get soaked, but then the sun came out and it was really warm and I dried off. Just jogging to the point where I turn back when whoosh - a car wizzed through a puddle drenching me again! Just as well I was in my running gear and not dressed for dinner!! Felt really good today, and my knee is behaving itself and actually feels so much better for running, guess I must be building up my quadriceps. Today I bought my first real piece of running kit - a pair of Nike half leggings - I will wear them with pride!
