Soaked
Spurred on by my desire to do a 20mile week I ventured out this afternoon. I went out about 5pm. It wasn’t raining at that point in time. Even though I was always crap at probability in maths at school even I knew it would probably rain. It did.
It absolutely, well and truely poured down. And then some. Mike is always telling me you can only so wet but that’s just not true Mike!
Didn’t lose my sense of humour though. Just running along the prom to home when a new track starts on my Sony. Smiths (sorry, old habits die hard!)… William It Was Really Nothing of which we all know that the first line is The rain falls hard on a humdrum town. Too bleedin right it does.
But the good news is ‘cos I did my Marine Lake circuit which is about 11k (6+ miles) I’ve managed to do a 20mile week - I’m almost up there with furious from Frodsham.
Sunnier weather next week - off to Nice. Taking my trainers. If they are dry.
*Update: I’ve added the stats. Not the fastest of times for this circuit. Went about .5 kph faster on this recent Marine Lake attempt.
Stats:
Start:17:21
Duration:53:07
Distance:10.95 km

Yay for 20 mile weeks!
Yay for getting ABSOLUTELY SOPPING WET.
I did my hill repeats on Saturday when it was battering down. It’s supposed to make you a better person isn’t it?

No. It just makes you wet. And heavier. And your kids laugh at you because you look really funny.

Hey hey!
I’ll make an all weather runner out of you yet!
Once you’re soaked, you’re soaked. You can only get so wet, despite whatever you say Mr C.
In a strange kind of way it is fun and when you return back dripping wet from head to toe, you also make you’re two daughters day too!
Good weekly total distance!
