Well... I'll be jiggered.... I ran for 30 minutes non-stop this morning, for the first time ever, in all my 51 years...!! It is truly unbelievable. Evenmore unbelievable is I left the house at 4.45am and it poured with rain for the whole 40 minutes I was out. What is this madness??!! 😜

It is madness for sure. I’m getting up at 5 to run in the rain at 58 and a few stones overweight ... loving every step #slowandugly πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Don't put yourselves down ! There are so many people willing to put us down in life we shouldn't be helping them !

Slow is ok, encouraged even, but ugly...not a chance. There is something beautiful about everyone if you look carefully.

Thank you.... I know what you mean, and I was only aware of it dripping off my hat!! I like to think I was running so fast I was missing the drops.... But that is soooo not the case!
