The great gremlin run

It was cold, it was wet, and it was blowing hard enough to make Mary Poppins think twice and Dorothy take cover. I really was not in the mood for this run. I also still had a sore tendon. I decided That this was where the rubber met the road - one way or another I WAS going for a run. The gremlins were out in full force, but I ran my full 30 minutes. I was very pleased. 😊

Well done, showing the little buggers who's boss. Proud of you, and Mary and Dorothy are both in awe of your prowess!

Thank you! It wasn't appealing in the slightest, but at least I know that I got good cold weather gear.

Well done and as Mary would say "practically perfect in every way" - don't let the weather boss you around :)

Well done RFB, Yes, it's been grotty here also, and sometimes have to kick myself to go for a run, but once I'm out the gremlins start to melt away, and feel good afterwards..

I definitely agree with that! It does feel good to get out there anyway.
