That steamed up moment before tripping over the curb is fun!

AnD it's always fun trying to figure out how long you can leave it before you HAVE to wipe the raindrops off.

It was so humid here yesterday that my glasses steamed up before my run finished!

This is the 4th attempt!! Something has always got in the way I am shocked that I have got here but so loving it back to it on Sunday or Monday I'm dreading the next few weeks as I'm away and it's going to be hot so might have to try middle of the night running I call it running but I'm a way off being a runner!!

Well even more well done for being so determined. I'm overweight, very unfit and approaching 60 so I keep amazing myself each 'run' I complete. I think it's because I go at a snail's pace that has kept me on the programme. Good luck with the heat and the midnight runs - keep me posted :)

I bought a peaked cap for running, found it in Amazon. Very light weight and it keeps rain of the face. I don't wear my glasses to run but I don't like rain on my face at all

If it was so wet the rain was coming sideways I wouldn't go out but I found running in the rain quite nice as I didn't get hot!

But my clothes got soaked and my running shirt turned into a sucking clinging nightmare that revealed contours I prefer to hide .....

Since then haven't run in the rain but I know it will happen again
