Achieving the challenge

My goal for April was to run at least every other day and today I have reached that goal.

You'll forgive my final run not being a proper run, but as the pictures below show our lane is ankle deep in water! I did set out in wellies to see how bad it was but as our lane was once a river bed you'll understand that I couldn't possibly allow my Nike+ chip to get that wet!

Instead I ran up and down our steep drive 20 times in pouring rain and for the third time this week got soaked to the skin. I'm not usually capable of running up the drive as this feat is always at the end of a run and something I usually find physically impossible, but today I had no choice. I started thinking I would try 10 climbs, then decided I could manage another 10 but that was enough, mainly because I was so cold. This did equate to 2.2 km so that would have to do.

My 15 runs in April have amounted to 90.41 km, which is 56.17 miles and has burned 5,929 calories.  

Now for a new challenge...
