Off out today to test my new jacket. No rain so didnโ€™t get to test the waterproofing but it definitely kept the wind out so Iโ€™m happy ๐Ÿ˜Š

Todayโ€™s run went better than Mondayโ€™s (actually did 25 minutes) but still felt like a slog for the most part. But then Jo said I could speed up for the last minute n I actually did! Then when I checked Strava Iโ€™d matched my best distance so far (on a run without timing cock-ups anyway) so all in all Iโ€™m pretty pleased ๐Ÿ˜

Well done SeejillRun on completing run 1 of week 7 in your new waterproofing, if you hadn't taken it with you it would have rained, at least it helped you keep the wind out. Onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 7.

Thanks AlMorr, itโ€™s definitely better than running in my fleece to stay dry ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ˜‚

Well done Jill, sounds like a good run (and no rain) think I had your fair share this morning ๐Ÿ˜‚Had to postpone run until tomorrow....is your jacket lightweight ? I want to get one but get so hot just with a top on ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Thanks, Iโ€™ve had better runs but Iโ€™ve had worse too lol. Yes the jacket is really lightweight, I got it from Decathlon for ยฃ25. Itโ€™s got a hood, lots of vents, breathable fabric down the sides and under the arms n 2 decent size zip pockets. Iโ€™m well pleased with it. Hereโ€™s the link if youโ€™re interested decathlon.co.uk/run-rain-ja...

Thanks so much for the link...looks great. I havenโ€™t got anything when itโ€™s pouring with rain or cold so thatโ€™s next on my shopping list.

Youโ€™re welcome ๐Ÿ˜Š. It definitely helped against the wind. Will report back when Iโ€™ve tried it in the rain โ˜”๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
