Running through the rain

No excuses, I just haven't run for a while and boy do I regret it. Just a few weeks off from hitting the pavements has taken me back so many steps that I feel like I am starting again.

When I thought my mojo had gone I found a tiny piece of it and attempted to resurrect it. The evenings are lighter and a bit warmer which helps, so back in the mandatory lycra sports gear I hit the roads.

It was going so well; I was keeping pace, kept going and had a nice journey out around the country. Until it started raining! Now I am not about to tell you that I started melting or can't possible run when wet but when it turned from a light drizzle into a downpour and I still had a few miles to go. It went from being cooling and refreshing to coming at me like needles. However the only thing to do was push on and yes I made it home, all be it soaking, I actually felt good.

So now when it's raining and you are driving home watching those neon-cladded runners  heading out thinking 'nutter', I too am going to be one of those facing the rain.

Running mojo back!
