It's been raining all day in South Korea. It stopped for around 30 minutes so I grabbed my shoes and made my way to the usual spot. The heavens opened as soon as I set off. It was weirdly exhilarating and although I'm happy with the massive progress I've made in terms of running time, I feel happier with the mental progress I've made. I've been staring gloomily out of windows all day, hoping that the rain would stop. When it didn't, I was running through it with a massive smile on my face anyway. I feel like a completely different person in under a month. Grateful as ever for the motivation.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend 😊

It is a great post! With so much truth in it. Sometimes we forget how liberating running in rain feels. Even more important, we forget how we mentally change thanks to running :)

Enjoy your rest day, and each and every run, regardless the weather. All of them has something beautiful in them.
