W6 R3 in the rain

[LauraLiz]

Very nearly got up and then crawled back into bed this morning on hearing the rain. First 25 minute run, first run in the rain. Totally nailed it! (Full disclosure - right hip a bit achy but I'm ignoring the blighter)

One unexpected bonus of all this running (apparently I am a runner now, thank you Mr Johnson) is discovering that I have abdominal muscles! Who knew?!!

Still going strong and absolutely loving it. Bring on week 7!

Woohoo well done. This was the point I loved - the start of the long runs. Sadly I ignored and injury which got worse and am now sidelined with just 3 runs till graduation.

W7 will be great, and you've got a run in the rain under your belt as well. You are a runner, as Mr Johnson says, and you have worked hard to get there.

Sometime I think I'd like to email Michael Johnson to say how much he's helped me! Looking forwards to week 7. I hope your injury heals up soon though 👍

I did the same run today in wind and rain. Loved it !!

[LauraLiz in reply to Chris9R]

It was certainly a new challenge!!

[Chris9R Graduate in reply to LauraLiz]

Yes, it was that.

Well done, both on the run and braving the elements. I'm on a rest day today... but have W6R3 to look forward to in the morning

[LauraLiz in reply to Cliff_H]

Thanks and good luck for tomorrow! Weather hopefully a bit better by then ☀️

Keep it slow, and keep it steady... you are doing brilliantly... So many folk braving the elements today

Make sure the hip feels okay.. you may find these helpful? I use WR exercises a lot

Thanks Oldfloss, that looks really useful. Best

[LauraLiz in reply to Oldfloss]

Best to be preventative I meant to say!!

Yep... I always click too soon.. I have sent some very dodgy replies on occasions x

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

I followed your advice re a peaked cap for the rain- Borrowed one of Mr Wheels'.

Must've looked a fright but who cares, I could see through my glasses

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yeay! Caps rock

I ran in the rain but it was a disaster so going to have to repeat w6r2!!!

Gutted but I just couldn't run in the rain plus it was like Gail force winds I couldn't see anything and my headphones kept falling out!!

Hoping I will have more success in the morning!!

[LauraLiz in reply to Njfarrell]

That sounds like much worse conditions than I had - impressive you even tried!!! Good luck for next time!!

[Catherinel14secondtimearound]

Well done 👍 I'm on W2R2 it seems a long way to graduation but am hoping that I do it! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️It's dry today which is a bonus!

[LauraLiz in reply to Catherinel14secondtimearound]

You'll do it!!! Just get your trainers on and get out the front door - that's the hardest part for me! Good luck
