Rain!!!

[Beany123]

Have had 2 weeks off from running and tonight I went straight into a 5.8K....in this weather!!! Trainers are sodden and it took almost 50 mins 😳...feeling tired but proud 😂😂😂

Well done, you deserve to be proud. Keep warm then stuff these important shoes with newspaper to stop up the water.

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you! I gave up trying to avoid puddles after a while! Also took off my jacket as it was sticking to me! Had a nice shower and all dry now 😂

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Beany123]

Great. Sleep well tonight.

Good run for you today in the ☔ rain, Hope you enjoyed it,

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you! Yes, once I’d got over the rain filled trainer situation, I did enjoy it!! I will be taking a towel for my seat to drive to work tomorrow as I think it will still be soaked 😂 I’ll know for next time!!!

Fab....well done. I quite enjoy hitting the puddles 😜 Cx

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Candy46]

People were looking at my group with incredulity 😂. I was on my way to the meeting point and an older gentleman said “that’s dedication for you” weirdly, my thoughts were not about the rain but the idea that this man looked at me and saw me as a runner 😂 still not feeling like a runner!

5.8k and 50 minutes of running you should be so pleased and proud. I just think wet trainers are all part of our running journey , mine were soaked on Monday. 😊😊

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I guess I’m a proper runner now then 😂 muddy, rain soaked trainers, going out in all weathers 😂

😂just read your post and decided I couldn’t miss another run due to rain( here in Lancs) and decided to do the Speed bursts podcast so that I wouldn’t be out long. Quite exhilarating really but feet very wet. I’m lucky that I don’t need to drive to anywhere to do a run

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to poohbear2608]

I have to drive to get to the meeting point! Nightmare 🤣

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Beany123]

Brilliant that I managed to motivate you 👍🏻😂. I’m in Devon but come from Merseyside, nearer to Lancashire than Liverpool city!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Well done! I bet you slept well 👍🏻😁

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I did, but I was up before 6 to get to work 😩 still I was surprisingly alert today! Must have been the run 👍🏻

[SuzieMac]

Good for you! Like most of the UK, we are in the grip of a bloody monsoon where I live!! You did well to get out there and I bet you’re glad you did!

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to SuzieMac]

I am! I don’t think I would have been motivated enough if it wasn’t for the running club. I don’t lik e letting people down, esp our run leader who has an injury, yet still comes out on her bike to take us on our run! Lots don’t turn up this time of year but I like a challenge 😂

[Run46 Graduate]

Fab...running in the rain when you're in the mood for it is great fun!

Well done on getting back to it 😁🏃‍♀️👊

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Run46]

Thank you 👍🏻 You’ve just got to keep going, haven’t you?? Hoping to do my first 10K next year 😳

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Beany123]

You'll have no problem with that if you carry on as you are 👍

Bridge to 10K is a great forum, friendly folks and a lot of the same people as on here...if you're not on it already, get over there!

It has Juju's Magic 10K plan which you can join up for, think it's about now it's starting but you can join in anytime if you decide to go for it 👍😁

[Beany123 Graduate in reply to Run46]

Brilliant thank you xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Kudos to you Beany123 ...it was wild here in Yorkshire tonight, I dont know where you are but it was like being in a car wash?!! But flipping liberating?!! Good for us Beany

[Beany123 Graduate]

I’m in Torquay, right by the coast. It was crazy yes! I am hoping it’s dry tomorrow night. Apparently parkrun was difficult on Saturday as it was windy too 💨🌧
