Apologies for ruining your breakfast with close-ups of bits of my anatomy. Exhibit A - mild jogger’s nipple and the counter-measures I’ve deployed today.
Earlyish run. 4k only today, which almost felt like cheating compared to the last two which were 5ks.
Absolutely throwing it down and much, much cooler. Still ran in my summer-weight gear and I was freezing cold by the time I got home. But boy it was nice not sweating my butt off out there.
Speed slower (presumably because of the rain) by about 30 seconds over last time. Pavements slippy and wheelie bin slalom a go-go.
Took Sirens Hill to “Get it on (bang a gong)”, today’s run fuelled by Spotify’s personalised Daily Mix 1. The playlists it creates for you based on music you listen to is one of Spotify’s best features.
Back feeling mighty calm, despite roadside showers by various HGVs. A warm shower at home put that right.
Another 5k coming up on Sunday and then I’m off out on Sunday evening for a work-related “summer supper”, my first proper night out in about 6 months.
Whatever run you have next, enjoy it x

Where are the tassels Jay? I’m with Ripcurlrana71 on rain! What is this mythical substance you talk about? You’ll be tell us it falls from the sky next!!! Pah!
Just logged in while eating my overnight oats - your nipple is almost the same colour as my strawberries! I, too, am so jealous that you have rain - my local park is covered in brown grass at the moment and is desperate for a soaking.
Hi Jay, don't mind the photo, nice that you have had some rain, where I am in Central Scotland it has not rained now for over three weeks, so we now officially are in a drought situation, however, with all the snow and rain we did have from November to the end of April there are no water restrictions whatsoever where I live, the only thing is that I have not needed to cut my grass lawn now for over three weeks, I usually have to do that every 12 days or so, the grass is looking a bit parched so no cutting needed. I regret doing that unofficial 10K I told you about on Wednesday as my right buttock has been a bit sore since Wednesday evening, silly me, I can still do other exercises like yoga and planks but I will have to put on hold my running attempt of completing a full 5K, good luck to you regarding that nipple
Glad you found something to treat current nip injury and prevent future carnage in the chest region. 👍 Great run, super jelly of your cooler weather. ☀️⛈🌦🌩☀️
Have a superb night out on Sunday. Sounds long overdue x
I don’t like getting my nice running shoes mucky by running in parks!
How did the shields do? They stay in place ok? What a shame Jay, nothing worse than pain when you're trying to train. It'll be just as bad as running with a blister! Ouchy.
They were fiddly to fit first time, mainly due to my hairiness - I had to work backwards in a mirror as I couldn’t focus right up close. Once on, they stayed in place and I couldn’t tell they were there.
Stayed in place despite rain. I didn’t sweat today which I guess could effect them but they stick well. Came off painlessly as well, despite hair getting stuck underneath.
With them on, no discomfort at all. And Lanacane is stopping work/ordinary clothes rubbing it so I’m good.
Might buy one rather than go to a gym. Anything but a gym!!
No rain in West Kent! I wish. I think they may have forecast thunderstorms for later though. Well done on the run. Hope you have a lovely time on your eve out - any potential ladies going? 😉
I think the average age will be very much older than me. But I’m rubbish at going out on my own and I know some of the people going so it’s a safe toe-dip practice. Such a wuss!
Well done for going running in the rain. It’s not something I would do if possible but after all the heat we’ve been having I’m game fir running in the rain but none here yet! Nips look sore and I hope they recover speedily. Have fun on your night out. 😊
Ta. I avoided rain as much as I could in the spring but this was just lovely compared to the heat. Short shorts and a vest and it was mainly my skin getting wet. Refreshing compared to the humid fug I’ve been running in lately.
They look very soothing Jay. Isn’t that amazing you said 4k only today, how good is that? Enjoy the rain, before it turns to winter rain. Hope it cools down a bit though for everyone. Over here, me’s sitting glowing with the woodburner (or is that the vodka and tonic in hand) and its raining heavily again, but alls well squeezed in a run today. Enjoy Sunday 5k and supper. Aah bless the older couple saving you a seat. Sneak in 🤫
Yep, we had that rain too.👍 Those nipple thingies look the business. Hope they did the job well. Am saving my run 3 of this week to be tomorrow’s Parkrun, though have a bit of another cold starting, so will decide in the morning... Have fun on Sunday! 😊❤️
