Cold Rain!

I started running a 5K yesterday but early in the run got caught in a deluge and was soaked to the skin! I decided to cut short the Run simply to get back to the car and home and get dry as quickly as possible.

I could have carried on running but was I wise to stop?

No. Embrace it. It’s not long you’re out for 5k. You’d have been fine!

Once you are wet you can't get any wetter.

Skin is waterproof.........

Thank you. It was more the wet and cold but Tasha made a good point, it was only a difference of 16 minutes. I will persevere next time.😀
