Wk5 Run1 in the bag!

Finished Wk4 on Friday but the stormy weather has stopped me getting out there for Week 5. I was worried about the gap getting bigger so went for it tonight. It was FREEZING and during my second run there was a torrential icy downpour. Giving up crossed my mind but I was already wet so I carried on. It was hard but no more so than any previous week. Runs 2 and 3 should be interesting 😨

I've had a weather problem too. I refuse to run in a downpour but I did run in drizzle twice last week. If I hadn't have done I would not have fitted the runs in. It wasn't pleasant as it is always windy where I live. It it was do-able and I felt glad I'd done it.

I must say I'm looking forward to the better weather though!

Good luck with run 2, pop in and let us know how you get on.

Yep, when you're wet...you're wet! Not so bad if it starts when you are out there..no choice but to, keep on runnin' as the song says!

I spent most of my runs soaking wet, before I graduated at Christmas...soggy Grey Snail!

Well done and good luck with the next two.. onwards and upwards..:)
