Well it had it all, very strong winds and heavy rain but at the end a little ray of sunshine was there to greet me at the end of the the 25min ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ so W6 R3 completed, I wonโ€™t lie it was hard going but the feeling sat here writing this is amazing. PS I was up at 4:45am again the running bug and definitely got me now๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ชโค๏ธ

Well done!! I've just been out on Week 6 run 2 - I would make a better kite than runner! But couldn't miss it having avoided the wind yesterday!

Thank you! Haha it was a bit windy to say the least. How did you find W6 R2?

Not as bad as I thought I would...I'm stubborn enough to keep going!! Have been shielding so this is my only real chance to get outside at the moment!

Yeayayayya! Go you !

Anyone can get out on a dry, calm and moderate day but you you got out there in the worst weather and you are a real RUNNER :)

Great start to your day...on you go relaxing into the longer runs and letting those new legs find their own happy pace:)

Wow, well done! ๐Ÿ˜ŠI have a wonderful picture in my head of you, running at a 45 degree angle into the wind and driving rain. ๐Ÿคฃ What a trouper! Youโ€™ve basically been exfoliated all over, for free. ๐Ÿ˜† Best of all, you did it, so you can enjoy week 7 fully in that knowledge. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Go you! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿข
