No longer a fair weather runner!!

4 Replies

At 6am this morning I got up looked out the window and went back to bed! It was raining, I was meant to be running for twenty five minutes (w6r3) and I knew I needed to extend my route having made it home before the end of the cool down in the last two podcast – my new route just looks so far….

Two hours later however I was up and out there – it was still raining but it really did not bother me. I was still a good five minutes from home when Laura told me I was officially a runner now and with that the heavens opened!

So not only am I now a runner I am also one of those people I thought crazy for going out in such weather!!

Isn't it exhilarating to be out running in bad weathers? Far far easier than running in heat!
