first run in the rain! (w1 r3)

It's been a few days since my last run on Sunday morning... I had a level exams on Tuesday and Wednesday so today was the first proper opportunity I have had.

I woke up and saw that the rain we have had for the last few days is still coming down hard, but I wasn't going to let that stop me as I was really looking forward to going out this morning. So, I headed out anyways, and I actually really enjoyed running in the rain. It felt really refreshing!

However, I did find the run a bit harder today... I wonder whether it was because I had left it a bit too long between runs which made it difficult to get back into it? I don't know... Either way it all felt a little trickier today and a little slower. But I'm not letting that demotivate me, I still really enjoyed it and am looking forward to starting week 2 on Saturday morning. :)

Well done you!! It IS different running in the rain, almost refreshing, but at least you got out there. Each run feels different -I nearly gave up after a couple of mine but I didn’t and I’m sure you won’t either.

Enjoy next weeks runs and all the others to come 😁👍
