Well. Today was w4r1 and I made the decision to go out and run rather than on the treadmill. I asked my son to come for moral support and off we went. We didnt realize it was drizzling until we got out but determined to go we carried on. It was actually OK no problem going but as we jogged down a hill i did say I think we might be jogging back up this and yes we did! we were on the second 3 minute run and up the hill we went! I was slow but kept going determined not to stop! After that it was flat and we got home exactly as the 31 minute timer was up! 2.6 miles so pleased with that one! Tuesday i will be on the treadmill doing 2nd run w4.

Glad you had a good run. I kind of like running in the rain ☔️! Well done for doing your run. Enjoy the next one.
