Pouring down this morning but didn't put us off. Yogi dog ran through every puddle available whilst I ran around them, but he is a chocolate lab so expected behaviour. Such a buzz by the end.

Yogi dog loves running through puddles and you love running. Fantastic that you have completed the second 28 minute run of week 8, only 4 runs to go now until you and Yogi ๐Ÿถ dog graduate๐Ÿ˜Šwhen you will be buzzing much more loudly than you did today๐Ÿ˜Š

Will Yogi get a graduation certificate too?

He will get a nice treat from our local pet shop

Of course he will, not sure if the administrators of C25K will give Yogi a graduation certificate but perhaps you could ask them politely to do that, if not give Yogi a extra portion of his favourite dog food.

Well done on your run Lindy and pooch! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•

So, what did you wear? Iโ€™m heading out to parkrun in the promised deluge tomorrow morning (with my buddy too ๐Ÿ•), and itโ€™s meant to be 8 degrees and bucketing down.

I know itโ€™s an odd question, but I started C25K in mid June, graduated in August and have only run in the wet twice. Once was a light drizzle and once was slightly heavier, but it stopped after a few minutes. Iโ€™m a wet weather newbie! ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’ฆ

Ooh Iโ€™m the same Cheeky! Tricky one isnโ€™t it? Not run in a downpour before, but I bet itโ€™s a great feeling. ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™ve got a very lightweight waterproof jacket and it even has a little hood inside. The rest Iโ€™d just wear the same. Maybe even a vest, rather than anything with sleeves as I do get quite hot during the run. The lighter coloured trainers (my faves) would have to stay at home too!! Oh the adventures to come! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

All us summer C25Kers are in for a shock this weekend I think Fab!! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Iโ€™m really looking forward to it, although I have a 5 minute walk from where I park, which might not be so enjoyable.

Iโ€™m like you though - I get really hot quite quickly so canโ€™t wear long sleeves running. Oh well, trial and error I guess! Will report back (possibly with drowned rat photo!) after the run! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Have a great weekend! ๐Ÿ˜€

5 mins walk is perfect for warm up! Weโ€™re definitely the summer running babies!! ๐Ÿ˜‚!! I bet itโ€™s a drowned rat with big big smiles though!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Look forward to the run report! Next run is Sunday for me. ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

I actually wore a lightweight waterproof I bought for cycling and it was grand. Wore my Ron hill pants as usual as I'm not a lycra person.

Fantastic Lindy. I imagine running in the rain is actually quite a nice feeling. Just have to dry off well I guess. Well done to you both! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

โ€ข in reply toFabulous450

Just jumped in shower when got home. It's quite nice running in the rain apart from not wearing specs as can't see well but if wear then can't see either haha

Yogi is obviously a great believer in โ€œwhen youโ€™re wet you canโ€™t get wetterโ€ which is cool... I may have a splash tomorrow for him!

Good run... nearly week 9!
