Hooray - The Rain Held Off

Now, don't get me wrong, if it starts to rain when I'm out on the road - no problem, in fact i love it, it detracts from the pain, it cools you down, it gives you something to think about plus I get a real feeling of doing something I shouldn't! But, can I get myself out if the wet stuff is already falling? Not a chance.

Today's outing was with my running partner Gill, she's faster than me and this has really helped to speed me up. We headed out straight after work and  we did a new route taking us through the park and around a housing estate before coming back through the edge of town, clocking up a reasonable 6:78 km (just over 4 miles.) I'm guilty of slowing us down today, I'd not had much lunch and was actually hungry.

This is my first blog and haven't yet logged my stats, yes I'm a bit obsessive, I'm not a real athlete, I'm slow, I don't seem to be able to do more that 11km, but I'm addicted and I'm going to sign off, plug in my ipod and log into my Nike+ account.

I'm next planning on running on Sunday, so I'll try and post after that.
