I was dreading this run, but went out, in the rain, and I did it!

I am so proud of myself, didn't think I would stick with it, let alone enjoy it.

Thanks for all the support 😍😍

I enjoy walks in the rain as when it rains the streets and the parks are deserted.

I'm loving the positive comments on the app..."You are now running more than walking". That was really uplifting!

Yes, I have two. The other one is a naughty tortie called Dizzy.

We had 2 torties that lived next door to us when I was a little girl called Katy and Mary!

We have an extremely spoilt elderly ginger tabby called baby who is 16!

Well done! The fact you enjoyed it as well is an extra bonus. I clearly remember NOT enjoying it so you are well on your way!!

You’re doing great! The first few weeks are really hard but you stuck with it. For me W5 was the point at which I began to believe I was actually able to complete the program. Keep going! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done, I was meant to do my Week 4 Run 1 yesterday but it was on and off torrential rain so delayed to early this morning. Much better. I picked a new route along partly country roads, lovely with hardly any traffic!
