Some people feel the rain.....

[Mummycav]

And some people just get wet....

Ooof...that was some rain this morning...torrential...with hail included!

It’s was ‘long run’ day today...should’ve been around 8k but I managed to push for 10...even though I was absolutely soaked to the skin! It was fairly bright when I set off but soon the greyness was hovering above my head, just waiting until I got into my rhythm! Sure enough, about 2k in, the heavens opened...then they opened a bit more...I was running on the local greenway which is the old railway track from years gone by so there are bridges & today they were shelters! But not for me, oh no, I felt that rain...& it made me smile...& I felt strong...infact, I think I had a bit of a Forrest Gump moment where I just wanted to keep on running...I even got a round of applause from a lovely old couple who were sheltering in the shadows...I think I’m bordering on madness when I’m running in the rain...I’m like a child splashing in the puddles!

I thought summer was round the corner a couple of weeks ago but there’s no sign of it now....

I used to just get wet in the rain too...but now, it’s a different story....

Happy running everyone...& remember, you’re waterproof 😉

Great run for yesterday in the heavy rain, dispite getting a little wet you seemed to have enjoyed it, the heavier the rain, the better 👍.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I did enjoy it AlMorr ...it was torrential at one point but my mantra was ‘keep on keeping on’ 😉

Love it! For some reason the rain just makes me feel alive and I’m always grateful I have a warm house and a warm shower to get back to. Always hopeful the family are out on those kind of runs so I can strip off into a puddle on the tiled hallway! Great run report!!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Sparkey5000]

Oh yes Sparkey5000 ...the shower felt so warm after I’d shivered all the way back home in the car!! My Hubby was in when I got back as he was trying to knock a couple of jobs of his never ending list...he just looked at me like I was bonkers!!! He knows what to expect now though...🤪

So glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t mind a bit of rain, I totally agree, it’s very liberating isn’t it? I love reading your posts, good to know I’m not the only ‘nutter’ splashing around out there!😄

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Who’s not tempted by a puddle Hidden ??? The rain is wonderful...perhaps not every run but a good old drenching just reminds us who’s in charge out there!!! I certainly looked like a nutter to all the people sheltering under the bridges!! Never mind...once a nutter, always a nutter 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

Amen! Haha, & long May we continue to be! X

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Amen

Yep, we were born waterproof, we just seem to forget this as we get older! 🤣

I and my two pals got soaked Sunday over 2 hrs in heavy showers but enjoyed it overall. I forgot my towel to sit on on the way home in the car but the seat has dried out! 🤣

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Brilliant GoGo_JoJo ...I know you’re a hardened runner who doesn’t mind the odd weather challenge!!! I started off with my extremely thin jacket on but after 5 mins I was down to my vest top & shorts....my legs were a bit pink though with the hail firing onto my bare skin!! 🌧

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

I still find it extremely hard to motivate on crappy days!! So much easier to think "I'll just double my distance next run" 🙈🤣

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I agree...when I’m that way out that’s what I say!! 😜

[Frenc Graduate]

Ah well done! It sounds such a lovely run. I got soaked too on Sunday. I stuck my tongue out to try and rehydrate by catching raindrops 💦💦💦. Well done Forrest! 🏃‍♀️💧🏃‍♀️💧🏃‍♀️💧🏃‍♀️💧🏃‍♀️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Frenc]

🤣🤣🤣 now that is bonkers...🤣🤣🤣

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Frenc]

I love bonkers

I have to say, given the choice, I avoid downpours, a bit of light drizzle is refreshing though, perhaps I have been darn sarf too long? Glad you enjoyed it though 👸🏼MC. x

Something liberating about running in the rain keeping going and knowing you can do it
