Educating Enid - Wet Running Gear

[Nilsam]

My "inner Enid" chose the wet weather running gear for this afternoon. It was the only way she was going outside.

The umbrella rather got in the way! But she stayed dry. I got soggy.

Hi Nilsam and Enid, I shall remember this when we next have to go out in the rain, lovely colours to cheer a grey day 😁

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, jorge3. I do not really recommended it for running...wellies were rubbish. 😎 But I suppose at least we won't get run over.🤔

[Hidden]

Lovely picture. So glad you braved it. My caring fairy decided not to put her high-waisted waders on. Going to give it a go tomorrow 🤞🏼😌.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Don't blame you at all. Have fun tomorrow. 🌧🧚‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍

[Jell6 Graduate]

Love it!💖

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Thank you, Jell6. 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

At least she got out 😀

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

WillowandSola, we nearly got washed away. 🌧👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

It’s got to stop raining eventually

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Eventually...🌻S🌼P🥀R🌾I☘N🌳G🌺

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Aww that’s such a pretty word thank you

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

😎👍

Go you.. and Enid...Soggy is absolutely super!!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you, Oldfloss.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Really need to get a decent rain jacket though...read a few posts on the same theme so will have to have a look. I suspect I am going to need one this Spring...Summer...Autumn and probably Winter. 😎

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Ron Hill do a cheapish lightweight, I have two, both got in the sales

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Oh thank you...I will have a look. 🌧👀👍

[DDJ2019 Graduate]

What is this Inner Enid of which you speak??? lol

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to DDJ2019]

Well it's that little voice inside our head that nags or winges...the one that wants a biscuit and tells you to take a break. (I read a post by someone who had named it.) I decided that this character just needed educating. Surely if she knew about a healthy life running would give me / us, she would not be so lazy. However, Enid has just ended up as a bit of fun where most of the time I end up drawing what I would do if I could. 👩‍🎨 👍

[DDJ2019 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Hmmm. Turns out I have an inner Enid too!!!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to DDJ2019]

Oh yes they have many terrible twins...triplets even. But they can be quietened...we can work on it together. (Cake in the mouth works but it does not help in their education 🍰🍪🥧.)

[Roxdog Graduate]

At least the thought of being cosy in the wellies under that colourful umbrella helped you push through! Brilliant! Is it ever going to stop raining! I just missed the downpours as I went out just after 6am, but it was pretty soggy out there. It's interesting soaking your trainers and socks through!

How weird that we're prepared to face anything to run!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, when I read your inspiring post this morning I thought I was being clever by waiting for a break in the rain but it didn't happen. 🌧🌫😁👍

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

It's nice to have some virtual running buddies to encourage one another!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Definitely that. 🏃‍♀️🤝🏃‍♀️

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Go you. 👊

'Weather' doesn't usually bother me, but even I'm getting fed up with this! Your posts give me something to smile about. ☺️

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Ah that is kind, thank you. (I probably should have been doing some house work or just working rather than painting but just messing about made me smile too. )👩‍🎨

[apatsyf Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Oooh, Enid woyldcd3finitely say, paint, every time! 🤣🤗🖌

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

Gets my vote. 😎👍

[apatsyf Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Meant to say, Enid would definitely say paint, every time!!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

Totally understood...😎👍

[Comfortnotspeed]

Enid’s umbrella ☔️ is beautiful but rather cumbersome for running.

Glad you didn’t have to use one 😊

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

I wish I had had one...caps don't really do it, do they?☂️💧 🌂💧☔

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

I’m impressed Enid got out there and didn't sit on the couch drinking tea and munching biscuits, whilst waiting for you to get back. Maybe you’re education of her is starting to pay off! Well done on the run even if it was a bit soggy 👍😁

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

🤣 Made me giggle...you know her so well. Thank you. How are you feeling? Are you out and about?

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Don’t ask, It didn’t happen! Got there yesterday to be told that the dizzy receptionist had booked me into the wrong clinic. I was raging as similar happened two years ago. Husband, who works away from home during the week had taken a day off, so he had a wasted 165 mile round trip. Rescheduled for Wednesday next week 🤬

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Grrrrr

[Speedy60 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Oh, what a nuisance! Take care. X

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Oh I am so sorry. You must be so frustrated. I hope it is sorted for you next week. Take care.
