Well I’m not sure which is most unbelievable... that I’m on Week 7 already or that we’ve had 7 weeks of no rain in NW England 🤔

I’ve felt cold today, even had the heating on, and felt tired too so didn’t fancy going out in the rain, felt sure it was going to be a rubbish run but I really enjoyed it! I took it very slow and steady and felt comfortable pretty much all the way 😊 I think maybe I actually am a runner now 😊

That’s wonderful, good for you!😄

Isn’t it lovely when a run goes so well after not feeling keen beforehand!😄

It really is and it’s a great reminder that we should just go out and do it even when we don’t feel like it!

My friend is a runner and she’s told me before that rainy runs are really refreshing and it’s true! Hope you enjoy yours

Wow, week 7! You're doing really well. Hope I can manage to get to week 7. I'm in the North West too. Seems strange to have rain today.
