Week 9 Run 3

[barge]

Well, I nearly turned back in the first minute of warm up, as it was chucking it down as I left the gym. However I thought What the heck, the rain will keep me cool and I'm usually soaked at the end anyhow! Determined to work hard as it had been 4 days since run 2 and I was wondering whether it was too long a gap, but thought I would see how it went. Got into my stride about 15 minutes in and thinking about how great I would feel when I'd finished kept me going. As I'm a bit of a plodder, I kept jogging through the cool down doing another lap of the park. I ran for 41 minutes in total and achieved 4k. I easily did 5k with the warm up and cool down so am well chuffed!

Good for you. Well done! This running in the rain is not all bad. It cools your overheated body down quite nicely.

Your badge looks fabulous!

Not too bad, although when Laura said I would be running for 5 minutes I did have a little panic attack.
