Take me running naked in the rain..

I would have loved a little rain on my run this morning as it felt quite tropical out there. Ooo and the supportive insoles definitely helped and I discovered the merits of sports tape while waiting on the new Strapmedown bra 😳

Post run cool down, pondering over a run that warranted a 😁 rating at the end and I felt was probably my strongest and fastest (if still snail like) pace yet the computer says no....

Not getting hung up on the stats, it felt good, I feel good and nothing can wipe the smile off my face. Adios week 8!!! 😁😁

What on earth are you doing with the insoles to compensate for the sports bra? ;)

Can't beat having a real smiley face to match the emoji.

Three runs to the podium, graduation and party time.

Whoop whoop!! 😁😁😁

I had my first run in the rain also this morning. Wouldn’t quite say refreshing. More like damp rag πŸ˜‚

Did OK though. 7.5k! Yay me.

I have no idea what sports tape is but it sounds like good stuff. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Thank you soo much slow_rob I'm a little bit stunned to have got this far πŸ˜‹

in reply to Gingernutter

You shouldn't be stunned . All down to your hard work and determination.. amazing what we find out about ourselves on C25K and beyond

So true slow_rob ...hidden depths! I did watch part of a series about 12yrs ago re couch to marathon and that really inspired me. I tried the run walk thing but back in the day prior to smart phones I found the timing a pain so I gave up. We are so blessed by technology, as it permits and encourages physical activity and realisation of personal challenges with the support of kindred spirits!!
