Week 1 run 3

[Phoenix010]

So I went to bed feeling positive for this one, I was looking forward to getting it done 😀

However I woke up to what sounded like a gale outside, had a peep out the window and low and behold the rain was coming down and trees looked like they had lost the will to live 😂

This wasn’t going to stop me, shorts on, shoes on and out the door 😬

I was wondering what I’m doing as I’m starting my warm up walk while the wind was giving me a beating 😂

The weather may have been testing me but actually it wasn’t to bad, I got it done with a greater sense of achievement given the conditions 😀

Bring on week 2 👍👍👍

Welcome to the determined (and occasionally soggy) band of all-weather runners!

I certainly soggy and wind swept this morning, at times I’m sure my feet didn’t touch the ground 😂

[BradC Graduate]

You’ve made a great start!

Well done for getting out in the bad weather. I prefer the soggy to the hot runs tbh!

Good luck for week 2, sounds like you're determined 👍🏃‍♂️😁

Thank you 😀 I haven’t had the pleasure of a hot run yet so time will tell 😂 the soggy ones aren’t to bad, my first run was a wet one so I guess it was only fitting the first week ended the same 😀

Very determined, had a bit of wake up call handed to me, which has kicked me into action, which I’m really enjoying 😀

Hahaha I avoid the hot ones like the plaque. It only intensifies the beetroot look 🤣

Nothing like a wake up call to get you going 😁 Mine was the 40's hitting and holding back the years for as long as I could lol! Good for you for doing something about it 👍

😂 don’t fancy looking like a beetroot,, the huffing and puffing is bad enough 😂 going to try and stick to early morning runs 👍

Mine happened at 41, it could turn out to be the best thing to happen me, time will tell 😂 it made me do some self assessing and make some adjustments in my life one of them is to be a lot healthier than I was. Hence the running 😀

I think change is a good thing alot of the time. Everything happens for a reason and all that. A chance to be how you want to be can only be a plus 😎😊

Go for it 👍😁
