Singing in the Rain - MFM

[RunRunRun13]

Just been out in the pouring rain for a quick 20 minute run as I wanted to get closer to my MFM target and have got to 24.9 miles !!!

What an enjoyable run compared to yesterday’s slog in the sun (I know you shouldn’t run on consecutive days but this was a one off due to work commitments and ensuring I’m going to complete it) and what a difference a day makes.

Only runners know what it feels like to “just run” (and sing) in the rain, think people were looking at me thinking I was mad but loved it and we are all doing this for such a special charity MIND and the good work they do to help others.

So to all the lovely VRB’s on here with only two days to go - get the cake and fizz ready for Friday ! 🎂🍾🏆🥇

YAY! Well done. You’re eating those miles up! 24.9miles. That’s loads of running! 👍💪

Sounds like you got a little soggy. 😬 at least you still enjoyed yourself and doing it all for a great cause. 👊🏻

Thanks Dave, yes was raining but still warm so felt really refreshing whilst singing to Van Halen (love 80’s pop) 🎧🤣 (please don’t tell me you weren’t born) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Did some yoga with Adrienne today too as haven’t done that for a few weeks and she is still far too flexible 🤣 (and I’m not)

Final run Friday ! Then it’s cake 🎂

[Hidden in reply to RunRunRun13]

Woop for cake day! Haha I’m not so keep on 80s stuff van halen is decent though! I was born in 88 😬. I thought you were only 21 😎. Yeah damn her for being so flexible! I’m like a lump of concrete when I’ve tried that before 😂 probably need more practice.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Ha ha ! I was 18 years old and had big hair dancing to Whitesnake in 1988 !!💃

Now I’m trying to run and bend a lump of concrete too 🤣👍

[Hidden in reply to RunRunRun13]

Haha! Not done any of her more “advanced” stretches yet then?! “Big hair” lol! Love a bit of whitesnake! Oh you’re a bit of an old school rock type person??

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thought one day I would eventually marry David Coverdale (lead singer of Whitesnake) 🤣 loved all those bands but known to be partial to cheesy pop too 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🎵

[Hidden in reply to RunRunRun13]

🤦🏻‍♂️. Didn’t end up marrying him then?! 😁

Just got back from a run too, though there was only a brief shower on mine. Well done for getting so close to your target 👏👏 I’ve just got 1.84 miles left to do now 😁 Will you be running again before it finishes?

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Well done to you too Jill, not far to go now. I had such a bad run yesterday thought I would get out again after some You Tube yoga. No foot twinges either today thanks to your stretching exercises.

I will be running Friday, what about you ?

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Glad you didn’t have any more twinges. I’m planning another run on Friday too to finish off but I think it’ll be an early one cos it’s going to be a warm day according to my forecast. Good luck for Friday!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks for the heads up re the weather so early one for me too if it’s hot on Friday.

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

You’re welcome 😊 It’s gonna be 23 degrees here in Sheffield apparently 😩😭🥵

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I need to look at where we submit our strava results..I forgot it's been a long month..

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

It says to email runr, this is the only address I could find [e-mail]

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Yes that’s the email address I have got too x

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Good stuff 😊

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate]

Well done. I was hoping for rain but we had none just a lovely breeze. Ur oh so close. Nearly there and yes cake and fizz definately well earned come Friday that's for sure. X

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

Thank you...just felt like a “good run” tonight could have gone further but didn’t want to risk injury.

We can all do a celebratory dance on Friday💃🥇

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

I'm treating myself to a cut wash and blowdry on Saturday.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

You will deserve it ! ✂️ 💇‍♀️

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

I know it's well over due.

Go you!! 0.1 of a mile to go... as Adriene would say... ‘You’ve got this!!!’

Running in the rain is my new BEST thing... it offsets the overheating. I love a ‘just a run, run’. Also, thanks so much for introducing me to NRC - I’m working my way through all the Headspace runs. (Essential for a difficult weekend with family this weekend - was running miles for my own mind!! 😂)

So here’s to lots of MfM cake and fizz Friday eve... (it’s my bd on Saturday and I’m away in Suffolk for the weekend, so I’m planning to roll the celebrations on into one long jogging, fizz-filled escapade 😉) x x

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Kertesz]

Isn’t running in the rain just great, even though people look at you and think “why” and I agree it helps with my overheating too and gives you some ME time away from all the stresses.

Can’t believe we are near the end and will have to think of something else to keep motivated.

My final run tomorrow and I will raise a glass for your birthday and hope you have a wonderful weekend in Suffolk.

Just think how much you have achieved - amazing !!!! X

[Hidden]

Sounds like you are well on track! I’m sure everyone walking by loved your singing - you must have made their day! 😉 🎧 🎶

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Not far to go now and I sang in my head most of the time as noone needs wants to hear that...even though some days I think I sound like Whitney ! 🤔 🤣🎵🤦🏼‍♀️

Hope your doing ok with your running/cycling

[Hidden in reply to RunRunRun13]

I’m good. Hoping to run later today xx

[Pianism Graduate]

Good luck to you and all our VRBs who are doing this wonderful thing.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Thanks so much ! Finished today and completed 27 miles in total for the month🥇
