It’s been sunny and it’s been stormy and I knew I wasn’t going to miss the rain today and I certainly did not. Half way through my run it started to spit and soon the heavens opened.
I passed a chunky guy running along in sunglasses, a vest and large headphones. When we passed one another on our loop of the estate he’d ditched the sunglasses and headphones and made a comment about getting the weather wrong. At least we both had a sense of humour and continued our runs.
I ran for 26 minutes today with no break. No walking either. It was very humid and my breathing was a little laboured but I was determined to finish a good full run session.
To mix things up I added in some loops and snaked around roads and avenues which meant I wasn’t always sure how far I had run. It was good fun and to be honest and it kept me on my toes.
I wasn’t bothered buy the rain, to be honest I do not mind running in the rain.
It was nice to be alone in the park as I could take in all of the plants that are full bloom with all of the plants benefiting from the downpours.
I have also continued to do my physio exercises and things are starting to feel better. There was a little bit of stiffness in the calves but it soon passed and it didn’t bother me for the remainder of the run. In fact I think this is the first run in ages where my feet or legs have not been an issue and I have been able to focus on my effort, pace and how I was feeling 😃
I enjoyed this run and am feeling more confident about my running 😃

Glad you back running. Take it easy Ivan.
