W1R2- early days, late nights, running soggy, but feeling fine

So I actually turned up and did the run and I'm also making a point to myself to ensure I do a post, even be it the smallest post, to remind myself that "I did this and I'm putting the work in". It's late, I need a shower and my bed, urgently. My amazing other half just said "go now, I'll distract him!" (Him being the little one of course). So I have my support in place, which is brilliant.

I didn't think a run in the rain would feel great, but it think it's more the achievement perhaps. I also followed the stretches post exercise vid, which I'm hoping will help me to not feel (m)any aches and pains.

Night night run fam, let's keep going x

Cheers ToothPickJafah ! Yes, I'm very lucky, but I won't take liberties either 😆 thanks for the support 👊🏾🙌🏾! Night time run was surreal. Wasn't sure how I'd feel doing it, but determination to run just made me go rather than thinking about anything else. I stayed safe and on paths where I was seen, and made myself visible.

Let's all do this! 🤩

Cheers Oldfloss 🙏🏾 I'm seeing a lot about Tibetan rites too? I also practice yoga but will look to see where I put it into practice before/ after a run?

Will keep it up! 👍🏾🤞🏾

The rites are short and can be tweaked to suit the time you have.... or how you feel... even the seated version impacts more than you may imagine:)

Well done! Running at night, too -AND the rain. Total dedication!

Yes, the stretches will help and get you into a routine of doing them.

Why not ‘follow’ a few people on here? People that inspire you, or are at a similar level to you. You can support each other and your followers will be notified of your posts!

Cheers for the tip Jools2020 will certainly look to make more connections for support 😄 stretches are a saviour. Must admit, sometimes feel a bit like I want to just rush thru them but I know I will benefit by just sticking with them for the additional 12 mins after my run.
