Had an extra rest day this week due to the bad weather. Went out this morning and a couple of minutes into my warm up it started raining. I carried on but got drenched, I looked like a drowned rat by the time I got home. But I did it, so happy.

Well done ! I had my first run in the rain this week ... like you looked ridiculous and drowned ... but nothing beats that sense of achievement... and don’t know about you but actually felt prouder after the rain run than I do in dry runs !

Totally agree, although I maybe looked a little daft grinning, and soaking wet.

I thought that! Takes me all my time to go out in the rain in the car and here we are running in it! That’s commitment to this programmed! Well done!i actually didn’t mind the rain (don’t get me wrong I don’t want to run every one in the rain!)

Well done!πŸ‘
