Week 7

[Bookworm20]

Started week 7 today, first run in the rain, turns out my packamac is not waterproof 😂😂 💧💧💧💧💧

It’s still hard going but is definitely getting easier 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Nothing worse than a non-waterproof. It was chucking it down here this morning. We must be bonkers

Not bonkers just slightly unhinged, well that's the way I put my life! 😬

Oh no! Hopefully running warmed you up and you were able to ignore the fact you were wet! Fabulous that you’re finding the runs easier too! 👏👏

I must say I’m at a loss to know how to tackle running in the rain ..... I hate being too hot and I’m sure a waterproof wouldn’t be breathable enough for me. Better get my act together though - this is the UK!! 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦

a lightweight run jacket is not waterproof. It just keeps the worst off

Waterproof ones are for fell and mountain races etc where being wet and cold is really dangerous

Get a running cap too. Cheap as chips. We are designed to run in the rain. It’s fine 🤷‍♀️🙂

I’m looking forward to it in a way. It’ll be a whole new experience for me. Sounds odd saying that - unbelievable that since I began the programme on June 11th, I’ve only had one run where it drizzled a bit.

Good plan about the cap. 👍🏻

Caps are a must, especially if you wear glasses!

Or just polish s little soap on to the lenses. Really helps with misting also. Just a little though

Top tip! Thanks 😊
