W7 done! A soggy evening run...

...but I felt great for getting out in it!

What is it about this running malarky that makes you step outside in way less clothing than normal, even in the cold and pouring rain? As I was splashing through muddy woodland puddles I found myself grinning like a kid! Was on a great flat when Laura said time was up, so just kept on running as had found a good rhythm (shhh...mcFly helped a bit too - lol) and did 30 minutes instead of 25! Whoop!

Ps Caro...no tropical sunshine, more monsoon!

Brilliant, well done you! Sounds like you are going really well & loving it! I'm like that grinning kid too... Excellent feeling isn't it?

The dark mornings are a pain, make it diff for me to get out and back before work, but it's my best time mentally. Think of me in the rain tomorrow , ha ha xx good luck with your next run x

I know! I can't believe I go out in a tee shirt. I used to be a complete wuss but I think it toughens us up. I used to run with a warmer top round my middle but I can't be bothered with that now and just go for it, hoping that my timing brings me back near to home

Being chilly does get you moving quicker!
