Rainy day disappointing for me

Well after my 1st and 2nd run a few days ago of week 1, I planned on doing my 3run today. Woke early but feeling tited so decided to my usual Monday morning paperwork then go for a run. I woke up about an hour ago to the sound of puring rain, turns out I fell asleep around 7am when I was almost done with the paperwork. So because it is chugging down, I don't trust myself to run when it is wet because sometimes my legs give way so it will be difficult for me to avoid slipping and/or falling. I will be going to work tonyt so I don't want to run in the afternoon because I need to rest my legs seeing I will be on my feet all night. So it looks like there will be no run today, disapointed.

Is there a gym nearby where you could go on a treadmill? I did a very muddy run in the rain last week and was slipping and sliding so much that I was scared I'd injure myself! Probably should have run on the pavement or on a treadmill instead!

I do have a gym that I go to but I have never run on a treadmill, I only walk coz I am afraid of falling🙈

Haha, same here - I am a member of the gym across the road but I only ever go swimming there. One day I will pluck up the courage to go and look at the gym equipment and have a go on the treadmill... It would be a useful option when the weather is terrible. Glad I'm not the only scaredy cat! 😂

I will try and start with jogging on the treadmil but it scares the hell out of me. When I have managed to do it I will let you know.
