...but I still went running this morning with my hood up and did I notice it.....nooooo. The bluegrass Enya banjo track on week 3 put my mind off everything except praying it would end....my ears were bleeding but I carried on into the M-People like tracks and then everything was okay. I'm finding week three strangely achievable except for aching calves as I run....started doing warm-up and cool down....I'll end up buying lycra next and turning into a M.A.M.I.L (middle aged man in lycra)....you know...the Sunday cyclists with all the gear....(apologies to any MAMIL's who might be reading this....)

I agree with CurlyGurly. I'm being mercilessly bullied ( ;-) ) into abandoning the gym and running outside and I can tell you, I'm positively welcoming the fact it'll probably be raining as I can imagine it'll be splendidly cooling. I can't contemplate the idea trying to cool off after a knackering run in 25C+ temperatures.

I love running in the rain, even if it means I can't see through my glasses! Haha! I must admit as a 40 something woman, I never expected that I would wear Lycra! Haha!
