A birthday run...and what a run!

[FormerAthleteNowMum]

It’s my birthday today. If you’d told me 6 weeks ago that I’d be out running in the pouring rain...and loving it...on my birthday...I’d have told you where to get off.

W6R1. It all went wrong. Drenched by passing cars, stared at by bemused passers by with umbrellas, headphones running out of battery, having to keep glancing at my phone timer...

But I did it and I hit 5k (over the 34 minutes and I think running a bit more than I was supposed to due to the headphone issue). I might hurt tomorrow!

What a journey this is. What a mad woman I have become!

I think I’m already infected! I’m not sure I have another explanation for even attempting this evening’s run.
