There are a few descriptive words for the rain falling over my corner of Wales this morning, as I stick a toe outside the door....
Biblical, torrential 🤨 perhaps a deluge it all ends the same way.... But red January doesn't make exception for the weather.
There's 11 steps out of my garden, by the 11th the clothes are errrr clinging 🤣.
Oh well let's run wet 👍 dynamic stretches completed in the warm and dry house a light jog with some oh so flattering butt kicks and across the road. Let running commence 🏃🏃or even 🏊♀️.
After yesterday's overheating the legs were back in shorts, and it's a swealtering 9°c. The rain has emptied the towpath and it's just me and the sound of squelching, puddle splashing trainers, perfect. Who needs music the rain hitting the dark canal water is so enchanting, across the aqueduct is the only time I lose the sound of that rain, the River Dee below, is angry and churning the noise is truly wild, bear in mind I'm 126 ft or 38 mtrs above it WOW.
I'd decided ( as my preferred route is definitely flooded to loop around and recross the aqueduct for my 5k today. The towpath passing the visitor center is newly refurbished, the golden pea gravel almost shining after the rain washing it clean, another noise of miss if I'd had tunes banging away 👎.
I believe the rain has turned it up a notch my wet running kit is now washing machine wet 😂 and it's ok I've not dissolved, and that sketch by the brilliant Peter Kay comes to mind about the Royal Marine like biscuit..... The Hobnob it won't go soggy, I'm in that mindset 💪.
Good run for you today in the heavy rain, there are Amber flood warnings for your area today, I just hope that you are not flooded out of your house, even the 🦆 ducks don't like so much rain ☔.
Oh bless you, what great commitment to this challenge. You truly are doing so amazing for going out in such awful weather and getting so wet, I hope you don’t get a cold.
Another great descriptive read and achievement, Well Done you. Day 20 done!!👏👏👍👍
Well done for braving the rain Hidden 👍🏻I was hoping to run today, but it wasn’t the rain that stopped me it’s really windy here and I hate running in the wind.
Hoping it’s better weather tomorrow 🤞🏻. Thanks for sharing Peter Kay, needed a laugh 😂
Ah now I know what RED January means 😄! Sounds as though you had a great run, squelchy or not - brilliant pictures. How lovely to have the place to yourself. 👍
Absolutely brilliant Hidden running in the rain and proofing skin is waterproof. Did that post end with Peter Kay- Hobnobs? Oh yes it did, my day is made😂😂😂
You're doing absolutely amazing with RED January Imc50 and once you're wet you're wet . What I've noticed when running in torrential rain is the weight of your clothes when you scoop them up to put in the wash. Brilliant photos and Peter Kay is my favourite comedian 😀 👏👏💪💪
Cheers Buddy34 you're spot on with that clothes gaining weight, I only wore the "jacket from a being seen point of view, but it's not at all waterproof, but my clothes were super heavy 👀
Good for you Hidden ...that makes 2 of us...soggy clothes , soggy shoes...puddle splashing is my new favourite...my RED is going well too, just a bit of a pants run yesterday but still at it ...😉💪🏻🌧
You are doing amazing with RED January, I squelched round a field for an hour with a dog today and may have preferred a dry day but it can’t last forever
I dont mind running in the rain .Sleet , however, is another matter .Still , I have resorted to stripping off in the little vestibule ,having left a change of clothes .there as soon as I'm through the door ! Well done on your RED !
