I just finished a 5.084km running that lasted about 0hh:29mm:9ss !
I could hear the rain before I got up and when the cat came on the bed she was wet. This did not really inspire me to run, but I felt I ought to. I was feeling a bit stiff, so decided to just run and see how it went. The school kids were out, so I had to dodge them as well as the puddles. It was not really raining, but the air was wet and my glasses collected some of that. Not ideal for seeing where you are going.
I decided to just run around the village a bit. I took some back roads to avoid the traffic. When I got to the top end I opted to go out past the allotments. The grass was really wet and it was squelchy underfoot. My trainers will need to dry out a bit from that.
I also took the path around the back of Chase Hill Road where it is fairly quiet. Low hanging wet branches added to the fun. I wanted to make it at least 5km, so took a lap around my block with diversions down some dead ends. That involved some hill climbing that I reckon is more than Strava shows.
In the end it was not too bad, but I was not feeling at my best. Sunday's run may have taken it out of me more than I thought. I do not think I am over-doing it though. Three or four runs each week ought to be within my capability.
I shall hope for better weather on my next run.
Run free and stay well.
