I've never seen any sarcasm on here. That's not how we roll!

Get out there when you're ready and you'll smash it!

Get your running gear on and get out there. Then you can feel smug for the rest of the day that you ran in rubbish weather 🀣πŸ’ͺ

I think the smugness will kick in when I dry out!! Thanks so much for replying so quickly!

I did it this morning... run 1 week 3 in the pouring rain. Found a thin old waterproof cycling jacket that belonged to one of my boys. It was blowing hard to but boy is it worth doing. My run was only about 23 mins. You can do it.....put your music on, trainers on, open door and press GO!

Amazing well done you!! Defo should’ve taken a waterproof!! πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦ officially my wettest run ever. My big old fleecy hoodie got really heavy when the rain went from torrential to apoplectic!

I’m now very wet and very happy! Thanks everyone!! :-)

Did you go? I was adamant that I wasn’t going to go... I was going to wait until this evening when the weather looks set to improve, but as soon as I got in through the door after dropping the kids off I found myself getting my gear on! I don’t know how that happened πŸ˜†πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I actually found that I don't mind getting wet!! Probably just as well with the weather we've been having! πŸ˜‚

Been out this morning, came back like a drowned rat πŸ€, but a hot shower soon sorted it out and now feeling great for the rest of the day 😊

Well done on getting out there, good job 😊 πŸƒ 🌟
