Cold water therapy post run!

Did my first run of week 9 this morning. My first run in the pouring rain and managed it all so am well chuffed with myself.😀 Got absolutely soaked while out of course but it diluted the sweat somewhat😂 When I got home and started to strip off the sodden clothes the kids paddling pool in our back garden beckoned to me and I decided to GFI. Dashed outside again and climbed straight in (not in my new Brooks though) - it didn't really seem that cold 😬 and it was strangely wonderful. Did get laughed at by my partner but hey!!. Cold water therapy is good isn't it?
