The storm has passed ๐Ÿ’จ ๐ŸŒง & Iโ€™m back on track ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ and managed some firsts too!

Half way to our short break in Cornwall I realised Iโ€™d left behind my newly acquired running waterproof, bought especially so I could keep myself on track and not miss a run because of the weather. Not to worry however, it was far too wild and the relentless winds too strong to make any attempt to keep going on my week 3 progress.

This morning however, I woke to clear skies and no wind. I achieved some personal firsts as well - my first run on roads and running with someone else (infinitely patient super triathlete) who joined me on my joffle and we chatted as we went along . I canโ€™t believe I can now combine running and talking!!

Looking forward to Week 4 and sunny runs ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ โ˜€๏ธ.

Where on earth in Cornwall did you get a forecast like that? It rained Monday night but up here on North coast itโ€™s been as sunny as a bumblebeeโ€™s bum ๐Ÿ

Lucky you!! Cadgwith Cove. It was unbelievable, but itโ€™s been cracking the flags today ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜Š.

How did you cope with the roads?

in reply to Am_i_really_running

Hello!

I seem to be ok so far as Iโ€™ve done quite a lot of walking today and still feel alright. Itโ€™s given me encouragement to try road running again. Not sure what running shoes to go for now though, as I had been thinking trail shoes as I usually run off road. Do they do a hybrid running shoe that copes with both? I should maybe post that as a question.
