W8r1 not necessarily the way to go

I would like to say I smashed it but it was a hard slog in muddy conditions. Dog walkers looked at me as if I was bonkers. Even the dogs gave me a wide birth. 2 mins in and I thought I cant do this but I changed my route and kept going, huffing and puffing until the end. My legs like jelly. I arrived home , soaking wet, covered in mud and ever so slightly proud of myself.

By the sound of it the conditions you were running in were tough. So I would say you did smash it. Well done you 😊

Well done. I am just about to go out and it has been raining loads and is still blowing up a hooley outside! Not sure I want to step out of the door! But if you can do that, I can do this!

Right....

That's it...

I am going....πŸ™„
