Oh, I remember! I love running in the rain!🌧️🏃‍♀️❤️🤣

I knew it was going to be a little wet this morning 🌧️ but it turned out to be much heavier and persistent than I had expected! I spent some time procrastinating🙄, waiting for the rain to ease, but when it didn’t I decided I had just better get on with it and get out as I had things planned for the afternoon, so it was ‘now or not at all’!

The prospect of 12k in the pouring rain did not fill me with glee, but armed against the elements with my trusty running cap and water resistant running jacket (not very water-resistant at all actually!) off I trotted…🏃‍♀️

And guess what? I had a fab run! From start to finish…rain, mud, squelchy feet, puddle-splashing etc! It was just what I needed - on quiet footpaths and bridleways (no idea why?🤔☔️), around fields, such beautiful autumn colours at the moment and I felt comfortable and strong at my ‘easy’ pace (slow!)

I returned home wet, bedraggled and very muddy but nothing a hot shower and my Boot Buddy couldn’t sort!

Happy running this week everyone.🙂

Well done for getting out there regardless Sandraj39 . Your runs in the Surrey hills look so lovely and so colourful at this time of year. Your Boot Buddy has certainly been useful.

How funny procrastinating over something you forgot you loved 🥰 Amazing how much worse it appears when you're inside isn't it. Well done! I'm sure there'll be more to look forward to 😍

It’s always a pleasure to read your posts about your runs Sandra. This weather brings out our inner child 🤗

I am the same….. reluctant when looking through a window but love it when it starts raining once I am out 😂 Sound a great splashy run!

Lovely post Sandra. I got a soaking this morning too; all part of the fun. Coffee tastes better afterwards.

Autumn is glorious - mostly! 😀🏃‍♀️

On my rainy run yesters my wildlife tally was two herons and a weasel. Not seen a weasel for yonks 😀.

Happy days 🏃‍♀️👍
