That really wasn't too terrible. Took a 40 min walk with the dogs first and it started raining so debated whether to go straight out but decided to whilst I was in the right mindset. Got soaked through and wouldn't say I loved it but there were definitely parts I enjoyed. First few runs I could have kept going but then struggled toward the end so think I might have been over enthusiastic to start. But I did it and have another one in the bag. The right music really helps too!

Good job 😊

I do the same if I run after work - take the dog 🐶 for a walk to warm up first, then straight out for a run, it works well 😊

And I have discovered while doing c25k that I like running in the rain - just as well with the weather we've had 😂

Well done for getting that run done, another one in the bag, that means, yep only 23 runs and then you're there good job 👍👍

I think the adrenaline makes us a bit erratic at first, then once that settles you find a comfortable place.

Well done though, keep it up

Ah Sarah, you are made of stronger stuff than me. Having got soaked through on my morning dog walk I opted to NOT go for my run, and I'm still waiting for a break in the weather. It doesn't have to stop raining completely, just not so blinking hard! So hats off to you for completeing both a soggy walk and a soggy run!

To be honest I knew if I didn't go straight out I might not. I get straight in the shower and wash my hair when I get in so figured getting wet didn't really matter. It's actually quite nice, it keeps you cool. Hope you get out today, good luck!
