It Rained But I Ran - Week 3 - Run 2

I didn't notice the weather until I stepped out the front door. I blinked, turned round and went back inside. It was raining. I started having an inner dialogue - should I leave it til tomorrow? Should I just go? In the end, I figured, I would get wet in the shower, and I would get wet on the way to work so I might as well get wet now!

So I grabbed my hat, and headed back out.

Saw a fellow runner in the park, which made me feel even better.

The session went really went and i was so pleased that I didn't let a bit of rain put me off.

Once I got to work, I got onto eBay and ordered rain-mac. Hehehe.

Roll on Week 3 - Run 3 :)

Well done! I’ve learned never to miss a run unless you *have* to. I once delayed a run by a day (to shuffle the next few down the week) so I could make time to help my brother move some stuff later in the week. But I got food poisoning so couldn’t do the first rearranged run (or run for 4 days), and then we changed the moving plans anyway because of weather! So always go if you can. Good luck with the next few weeks - with your attitude I’m sure you’ll be brilliant!

Well done! It was pouring here mid afternoon, but had stopped by 5pm when I went out for W3R1. It started raining during one of my runs last week and I actually didn't mind. Enjoy Run 3.
