First run in the rain

I’ve just done my W2R1. I’m really pleased with myself as I’ve never been a runner and so far have got to the end of each running stretch.

I was a bit apprehensive about the increase in running time, but weirdly felt it was easier in my head having less but longer running bits

I’ve got a horrible feeling that this running bug might be getting me as I’m excited about the next run whereas this time last week my mindset was “ what the heck are you doing!!!” I even didn’t mind running in the rain this morning.

Well done 👍

I find it's refreshing to run in the rain 😁

Oooo...just completed W2R1 too! It was a very fine drizzle for me...didn’t really notice until I got back to my car and realised I had wet hair!

Tbh I only really noticed it on the 5 min warm up, but I’m still impressed with myself that I still went out when I knew it was raining 😊

I got hooked in Week 3! Odd, isn't it?

I know nowster, never thought it could happen to me though! I am the person least likely to run... until now 😉
