Run won!

[VPOLLIE67]

I was watching the rain bouncing off the garden table and contemplating cancelling my run and just sitting down to my dinner (shepherds pie!!! ) but I just couldn’t bring myself to step away from the routine I’ve got and off I went - with Ollie in tow as usual!!!

It was a grand run! Not great but not bad. My legs felt heavy at the start but soon I’d settled down and reflecting on it now - this was the first long run where I wasn’t begging for the half way bell!!!

Top of the hill turnaround tree came and went and then I was heading home.

Still can’t believe I’ve stuck to this programme and am delighted and excited for week9.

Soggy doggie and I are now dried, fed and I’m about to have a cuppa.

Sending loads of happy hugs to everyone. 💕💕💕💕💕

Well done!

Looks like rain for me tomorrow as well. Would an umbrella affect my running? 😬

[VPOLLIE67 Graduate in reply to Ian5K]

Lol. Baseball caps my cover of choice. Keeps the sun and the rain out of my eyes 🤪🤪

[nowster Graduate in reply to VPOLLIE67]

I've got a cap, but had chance/need to use it yet.

[VPOLLIE67 Graduate in reply to nowster]

it’s confess I wear mine all the time - helps to hide my beaming red face when I meet folk lol.

I've got a rainy run tomorrow too here in Cheltenham but I don't mind a drop of rain, distracts me from the run 😁

[VPOLLIE67 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Very true Burkey. I usually don’t go out when the rains on but I couldn’t wait to go 😱😱. So unlike me hahahaha.

[acountrycabbage Graduate]

Ooh, I fancy a cuppa now too. Wish a had an ‘Ollie’ to cuddle up with! 💕
