I must have the bug.

I'm into 2nd week of running, and before I started C25K whenever I see people running in the rain I always said yo myself they must be mad, well tonight I become one of the mad crew.

Was a bit apprehensive in doing it tonight a) because of the weather and b) I've had 2 days since last run because of work commitments. Alas I plucked up the courage put the bobble hat on and off I went, and I'm so glad I did.

Taking in all the advice about nice easy jog when prompted I enjoyed every part of it, even with the rain in my face and getting a booty full of water with the puddles.

I even managed a 2 and half minute jog st the end. For some reason it seemed to fly by and even the heart attack hill half way through didn't bother me.

Absolutely loving this program and reading about other peoples experience and encouragement .

Till the next time, happy running

Don’t run beyond the finish. Not yet! Rein yourself in. It’s early days 🙂

Running in the rain is ok. A lightweight run jacket helps keep the worst off.

When it’s warm out there, a shower if rain is wonderfully cooling 😃

It’s a fab programme. So pleased you’re enjoying it 👍😃🏃‍♂️
