A wet 5K

[Instructor57]

So yesterday the forcast for today looked good !

I was working this morning and thought I know, I'll go out for a run around lunch time .

The weather was dry and bright while I was working so thought yes!

Go home , change and have a good run in the dry ,

Ha, no such luck .

The weather started to change at the same time as me, and when I went out of the door it was raining ☹️

Ahh well, I'll get wet then 😐

So it was a wet 5K around my usual route , the first in a week

My previous run was last Thursday .

Still, keeps me ticking over 😁👍

Well done Ian! Shame about the weather, but never mind, you got out there! And did another sub 40 minute 5K 👏👏👏

As you say, keeps you ticking over 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools , it was a bit of a soggy one and I'm not a fan of running in the rain 😐

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I know 😊 but you still went and successfully ran for 5K ! 👏👏👏☔️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

And typically, it's stopped raining again now !

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

😂😂🤣

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Would have been an easy excuse to go back inside Ian so well done to you 👏👏😀

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Thanks Jane 😁👍

You and me both! This morning was lovely. An Amazon delivery plus other stuff (including work) stopped me going out early in the sunshine.

Strangely I didn't really notice the light rain had got me soaked until I found myself dripping everywhere when I got back home.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Yes, same , not heavy rain but absolutely soaked when I got back ! Ahh well 😐

Well done Ian for getting out there and running in the 🌧. It looks like the 🐰 artwork is back!!Take care

🏃🏻‍♀️💪🐻🐻🐻👨‍🏭

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thanks Rebecca, yes the artwork is my usual route I have been doing since about week 6 C25k, I just added to it for 5k and change it a bit more for 10k 😁

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

It is brilliant I ❤️ It. I must put this on my goals of things to do!!

[Littleoyellow Graduate]

Great that you got out for a run Ian, they all count and keep the legs ticking over as you say. I haven't got soaked yet on a run 🌧 well done for persevering. I bet you feel better having gone out there today 😁

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Littleoyellow]

Thanks

Yes, I do feel better for it actually (as I usually do 😁) 👍

[Littleoyellow Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Keep on running 🏃‍♂️👍

Forecast is for 100% rain tomorrow, what do you wear in the rain? Asking as a Week 5 Run 3 tomorrow, beginner.🇨🇦 I just got my first leggings and jogging pants, what a difference the correct clothing makes, but do you go out in rain in those?

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to coolfemme]

Hi, yesterday I had a long sleeve top , running tights and a light shower proof jacket , the jacket dosent really keep me dry ! I do have a rainproof one as well but it's a little heavier and for me would have been too warm ,

I don't think you can stay dry , if your fear keeps the rain out then you will just sweat and get wet from the inside

[coolfemme Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

haha, yes from inside out is right, thanks. I guess I'm not convinced I'm a runner so I haven't dressed like one, yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to coolfemme]

Good luck with your week 5 run 3.Take it slowly and enjoy it , you will not stop smiling afterwards 😁👍

[Roxdog Graduate]

I think that with the dark winter days, keeping running ticking over is perfect!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, I look forward to the longer runs in the longer not so wet days of spring hopefully 😁

[Anthony59 Graduate]

Well done. I got caught in the rain and cut my run short to 3K. Basically I wimped out!! Your times are great!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Anthony59]

Thanks, once I was wet it was strangely ok 😁

[Anthony59 Graduate]

👍😀

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Sorry I missed your post - I've not been getting email notifications. Hopefully it's fixed now.Well done on getting our there. So typical with the weather isn't it! Another good 5k - and in the wet. I know you aren't keen on running in the rain.

You've done much better than me.

The last 2 days I have cried off. Hopefully tomorrow - fingers crossed.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Haha, I didn't do that well, it was my first run in 7 days 😐Roll on spring 2021 😁

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Still a sub 40 5k by a tidy margin. That's pretty good in my book!As you say - keeps you ticking over

[Peter44 Graduate]

I got caught in the rain today, just a short 30 min run, but strangely, once back home, felt quite chuffed that i'd been out running in it, if you see what i mean! 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Peter44]

Exactly how I felt 😁
