W4R3 - This time - and only a little wet!

[Richard7]

Set my alarm for 8am after a very late night but somehow awoke at 7:15 ready to roll. Got up checked the incoming cloud formation dressed and out. First 3 fine, 1st 5 fine - 2nd 3 tough again. Final 5 not bad but really slow and steady - I swear I saw a rabbit and a tortoise pass me!!

Finished the run and for a laugh the gods opened the clouds to give me a gentle dousing of rain - almost timed to perfection! Could have been worse scheduled for heavy rain at 8! And it looked so promising!

After week 1 when I was thinking of redoing the week I can’t believe I have finished week 4 - it might be taking me a little longer but I really don’t care - it’s great to be doing something that I know will help my health. I have struggled with every run 1 of every week so I know that Monday/Tuesday will be difficult but I also know I will feel great at the end of the week (ish).

Thanks to all on the forum for giving support to all of us - it really helps - even the gentle suggestions about running in the rain

Woohoo, sounds great! Absolutely doesn't matter if it takes longer to get through the weeks. Bring on week 5, rain or no rain!
