Well, despite the driving wind and rain and undulations in my route, I nailed this run....and more to the point, I can feel my fitness improving and I ENJOYED the run.

There was supposed to be 6 of us ladies doing this...2 of us turned up.

Only two turned up probably due to the weather, you were very brave and congratulations for running run 1 of week 4, glad you enjoyed it despite the conditions, better weather I hope for run 2 or week 4.

The weather and a little confession later in the day...too much wine on a school night! I have been t total since Christmas ( she says smugly). It is made more difficult living in the south of France.

I thought wine came out of the tap in the South of France as water comes out the tap in the UK !!!??

Precisely...it does. Feel great for giving it up though...I am in a minority here in that mindset.

A lot of people are put off by the weather , you are not one of them . If we had to wait for good weather we would never run . Well done😊😊

Great job... wonderful that you enjoyed it... those other 4 missed out... go you and your sole running buddy... it takes a bit of mental toughness to get out there in awful weather and that particular ability is as important as the legs and lungs are. I don’t see anything stopping you two now... kick the other 4 up the ass, they need it 😂

Enjoy run 2
