Cold, wet, rain, sleet, one of those “why am I doing this?” runs. I nearly left it till tomorrow, until I saw the forecast which was worse than today. Not very pleasant, but that’s the UK weather for you. Glad I’ve done it now though, and that’s what it’s all about 😁

It takes determination and courage to get out and run in this weather and a large clump of silliness but hey it’s wonderful when back in the warm and dry

Well done Wenderwoo for getting out and getting a run in today. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ 💪

Well done for sticking at it. How are you finding your consolidation runs? I felt a bit 'lost' and unmotivated after I graduated. Felt I needed another goal to work towards.

I’m quite enjoying the freedom tbh, and trying different audios and timing methods. Once I’ve done a a few weeks consolidation I then want to work at getting to 5k - I’m a long way off at the moment ☺️

Well done. There have been quite a few of those runs for me recently, I'm almost considering investing in some scuba gear if it carries on like this (that or develop gills). Sometimes it really is just about getting out and getting it done in the knowledge that the sooner it's over, the sooner you can be back where it's warm and dry...

Yep, it’s getting a bit boring now isn’t it! I’m so looking forward to running in the Spring sunshine.

Well done Wenderwoo, sometimes just getting out and getting the run done is all you can ask of yourself. 😊😊

You are brave, well done! Similar dilemma for me - I haven't run since Monday and tomorrow looks horrendous!

Well done! It was my planned day too to run but guests arrived and that was that. So I am envious you braved it all and got the run done. Now I have a bigger challenge tomorrow 😬. You have inspired me just to get out anyway!!
