Spurred on by the rain?

Went for my usual Wednesday morning run, all was going well till I got to 2k and the heavens opened, I don't know if it was the rain or people seeing me looking like a drowned rat that spurred me on but on I went, when I hit 5k and I heard your time is 38 mins and 40 secs I couldn't believe it, 8 mins faster than my 5k graduation run 17 days ago, well pleased, I'll have to run in the rain more often, ha ha.☺🐵

Well done! Sadly, I think you'll have lots of opportunities to run in the rain this summer!
