Wk4 r2- first time running in the rain.

Well, wasn’t too sure about running in the rain. Dragged myself out of bed, still can’t quite believe that I am getting up early to run, let alone in the rain.

Glad to say was good most of the way, legs were tiring on the last 5min run. I always think the last 60 seconds seems to take ages ha ha.

So, rain, mud, stiles and trying to not trip over our dog I did it 👍🏻

Thanks 😊. If you said 4 weeks ago that I would be getting out of bed to run in the rain before work I would have laughed so hard. The morning runs do seem set me up for the day though.

Well done! I (as my username might suggest) absolutely love running in the rain - I find it really cooling and refreshing :)

Thanks. Yes, wasn’t looking forward to it but was okay. I think I was more worried about slipping and hurting myself. I don’t run much on the roads - all trials/ fields. Was more refreshing.

Well done JulesL69 ! 😊

Well done! 👏👏👏

It’s actually not as bad as we think is it... and you feel even more accomplished and hardcore as you did it in the rain! ☔️

Sets you up for whatever the day throws at you 💕
