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 donโ€™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! Thatโ€™s commitment to this programmed! Well done!i actually didnโ€™t mind the rain (donโ€™t get me wrong I donโ€™t want to run every one in the rain!)

Well done!๐Ÿ‘
