OMG 😲 I can't believe I've just completed W5 R1 in the p*****g rain and wind. Heavens opened, soaked through but it damn well took my mind off counting down the 5 mins runs. Did I enjoy it? Erm I wouldn't go that far but I didn't hate it either. Now pass me the hairdryer and the straighteners!

I'd kill myself without my specs though I do wear contact lenses from time to time ..... not during the week as I spend two hours on the road when working weekdays. Tired eyes, tired legs; in fact just plain TIRED but not tiring of C25K πŸ˜€

Times like that when you wish they had windscreen wipers for glasses! I've yet to sample the delight of running in the rain, but that's my worry - not being able to see where I'm going!

Though probably my worst experience that way was cycling to work and finding my glasses had apparently steamed up. Gave them a wipe with fingers and found it was hard frost! The temp was minus 4. Carried on without said glasses - fortunately not that short sighted.

Great work well done! Fun in the rain isn't it?! Looks like you have the same challenges as me with the specs, looks like we need to work on windscreen wipers and demisting blowers!
