I think we can all agree it’s wet today! But nevertheless, today was run day, so that’s what I did. I wasn’t expecting great things, what with battling the wind, rain, and getting soaked by passing cars 🚘🤣. But I am amazed to say I actually ran the furthest yet in 30 mins! And I’m set up for the day now. I still have to pinch myself I’m doing this, it is so worth the effort 🏃‍♀️.

Well done! Rain and wind can do strange things to you perception. I've had it happen too, thought I was running slow, my watch proved I ran actually too fast even.

Thank you Zip54! Funny how we do better when we least expect it 😊. I’m going to blame it on the program for being so well designed 😄

Thank you! I see from your other post your husband dropped you off for your run this morning - hope he had the kettle on when you got home 🏠 ☕️! My post run coffee never tasted so good today 😀

Unfortunately Frenc , I had hitched a lift in the van with him to his job so no warm coffee ready for me when I got home...but every morning at 10am me and my best friend face time each other with a posh coffee...that warms my cockles 😉 xx

Yep. I did my second consolidation run today, just because it was sunny and I felt like it. I've never felt like running before in my life!
