Week 2 - Run 1

First run of week 2! Another day delayed due to rain - like cricket but without the little sticks. Listened to more Dire Straits - I think this is great music for running :) Jo Wiley was good again, I like her down-to-earth approach. The step up in running time wasn’t too extreme so it was quite satisfying to finish.

Hi, I did my first run in the rain on Wednesday, and it wasn't too bad. I've now bought a lightweight running jacket and am looking forward to running in the rain again-it keeps you cool if nothing else 😀

Sounds like I'm going to have to man up and brave the rain!

Keep going Prof, you're doing well. Any previous running background? What are you a prof of?

Haha I have zero running background! I used to do a lot of martial arts when I was living in New Zealand. But now I need to get fit especially as I'm stuck home a lot during lockdown. I'm not a professor of anything, it's just my nickname, I studied quantum and astrophysics at University before switching to working in the film industry, and the NZ government sent some people to come and test my IQ when I was younger which is where the nickname came from lol.

Not what you're looking for?
