I swear it was only light drizzle when I set off this morning. How wet can you get in 34mins... By the start of the 8min run it was raining heavily. Half way through that, Laura says β€œhopefully you’re feeling good”. At this point it’s bucketing down, and all I can think is β€œNo Laura, I feel soaked to the skin!” Think I need to get her a weather report link to her little world in my phone app! πŸ’¦πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

On the other hand, when Laura told me to start walking again, I wanted to argue with her because I wanted to get home faster! And for the last minute of the final run I did my best attempt at a sprint, to get nearer home before she bullied me into walking to cool down again!! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Just dripped through the door and squeezed out my socks and running cap! πŸ’¦πŸ§¦πŸ§’πŸ’¦πŸ˜‚πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£

Think that’s where I went wrong, Miss Wobble. Should have worn a jacket or something! I’ve been finding 7am cool enough anyway here. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‚β€οΈ

Well done, you braved the elements, that last sentence looks as if you had just come back from a swim

Thanks AlMorr - think my husband thought I’d been swimming too. Thankfully the puddles weren’t that deep... πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‚
