I got soaked last night on W5R1. But I did get to see the most amazing rainbow towards the end so I'm certainly not going to complain. I wished I wasn't halfway through a five minute run so that I could have taken a picture!

Its very inspiring to see you guys heading out in such nasty weather, I think its great.

Hope your run is a really successful one.

Ok so I never quite managed it, got out in my kit but the rain was coming down sideways with the wind it was so heavy, going to try again in a bit!!!

I took me 30mins extra in bed to shoe horn myself out this morning - but I wanted to run! It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting - I tried to ignore the weather! Go for it! Then come home and drape all your running stuff all over the radiators as I did!

Did it today in a rainstorm. Just go for it and put the radiators on for when you get back!! x
