Amazed at myself...

Week1, run 3. 8.30pm this evening I got out of the door and I, (can't believe I'm saying this) was one of the strange breed of people running in the rain...wait... And I enjoyed it!! :-)

It got later and later and the gremlins crept in, trying their worst. Bugger it I thought and jumped off the couch, once I'd got the little one to sleep, I'm doing this like thousands of others are around the world. Thousands of successful graduates have been in this exact situation.

The old me would have stayed on the couch! Keep doing what you've always done and you'll always get what you've always got! Xx

Yep, week 1 run 3 in the wet too.

7.30pm was no better.

Helped being cooler as have a tendency to leak like a burst water main.

The couch and me go way back.

That's one hard relationship to end. We're still friends tho!

Nik.

well done you, now you have started, keep doing it. One small step for you and a long road in front of you, keep with it.

The rain...well what can I say. It is exhilarating.

Keep going, you will want to be on that couch less and less

Thank you and yeah, isn't it strange, even on my rest days I'm itching to get out and will 'brisk walk' now just to get my fix!

It's gorgeous to run in the rain, steam coming off you! Running in the rain out on the trail is fab fun. I wished I'd remembered to take a towel for the car seat. Ew!

Keep up the good work and never go back to being a couch potato, ever!

Not what you're looking for?
