So running in the rain is my new favourite thing 🌧 Tonight’s run was my best ever. Everything just came together and it felt great. I’m super proud of myself 😊 Thank you everyone for your support getting me this far, couldn’t have done it without you 🙌 💖

I agree, running in the rain is the best!! Wind, not so much. You look, quite rightly, very proud! Just five runs to graduation now...! :)

Thank you. I showed my daughter my post and she said congratulations but that I needed some lessons on how to take a selfie! 🤣

Thanks! I find running (I use that term loosely 🐌) in hot weather a challenge so last night boosted my confidence so much 😊. Good luck with W5, we can do this 💪🏻😁

@PlymBorn this was meant for you! Me and technology, there’s just no hope 😂

You’re not alone with technology challenges ... that should be a separate page on here ... but then again I’d probably not find it or not know how to use it !!

I know how you feel about the weather and heat ...that’s why I go out for my run at 5.45am ... nice and cool ... and vert few people around !

Yep we have this nailed ... good look with your upcoming runs ;and the tech) 😄

I’m good - just did Wk7 R2. Had to drag myself out of bed to do it . Love it once I’m finished though . 😁 now scrolling through this forum instead of starting work. Oops.

I'm a massive fan of running in the rain too (in the summer, anyway!). Well done!!

Thanks. I used to hope for sunshine so I could sit in the garden but not anymore, going to do a rain dance ☔️ 💃 every run day from now on. How are you getting on?

Just finished Week 8 on a high this morning (in the rain :) ). Definitely rain dancing on run days as well!
