Another night run tonight. It was a few degrees above freezing, a bit breezy, dark, and rainy. I went out anyway and felt like a complete bad-arse. By the end of the run, the rain felt awesome. It was great.

It's a great feeling isn't it? I was not keen on evening running but because i wamt to increase my distance I had to start. Now I'm converted!

I do kind of like it. I just need to watch out for ice. 😃

It was fun! I love your profile picture.

Rain is fun once you are warmed up. Wind is harder especially if you are running against it. Well done for braving the elements

Yes, definitely! I was just thinking of what my old non-runner self would have thought seeing someone out for a run last night.

Yay, another bad ass! 😊

Take care, don't go mad. It's at this point we think we are invincible and can do too much. Be sure to progress steadily ☺

Yeah, I will definitely have to think twice about running outside when it's icy. This was nice though.

"felt a complete bad-arse' .. that made me chuckle because I can completely relate to it!! I used to be such a fairweather fairy girl and now I feel so much more SAS!!! ;-)

Oh yes. I definitely know what you mean. There's something strangely satisfying about getting decked out in winter gear and going out anyway.
