well this morning turned into a bit of disaster. The intended 8am run was delayed as I didn't fancy being totally drowned so thought I would just go out later in the morning.
9am, nope still too wet, finally 10am it has eased off so out I go. Usual warm up speedwalk then down the track for half a mile attempting to run turns into more of a slipping sliding and trying to remain standing competition. Too much run off water had turned the track into a squishy mud bath.
trainers full of crud I'm there trying to run, every squelch and mud splattering out all over the place. I managed 2 more miles before giving up any pretence that this was a run and went back to jogging. Finally home, trainers off outside and a cuppa to thaw out. 3 hours later, more rain has made a good job of rinsing off the trainers.
So the morale of this story is don't be put off by a bit of rain, get out there, get dirty & soaked and use the rain to clean off the mud and crud afterwards.
Welcome to the Autumn!

I think I might have to although it's the track going behind the house, alternative is through the field which is 2ft high now so was the choice between the two..
and the wetter and dirtier you get means you have had an even better time in my book. & thanks yes been out of the country for most of the summer but the season is over so now back in blighty. Upto 12k so far & hoping for 15k before the year is out.
I go out in all weathers and don't really mind it that much. I hate getting my shoes mucky though. I must say though that my Nikes just seem to shrug everything off. They look the same as when I took them out the box and I never do anything to clean them, nothing at all. They deserve better. LOL
sometimes you just can't avoid it though, some puddles are just too tempting & I know you probably shouldn't but I just chuck the trainers in the machine with everything else and come out like new.
