Rain means run

I decided last week that every time it rains I'll run to work. This is to save my bike from the damage that riding in wet weather every day will cause.

On Friday it rained so I ran to work. I felt a lot better than I did last Wednesday so I wasn't too concerned about the run home. In the end, though, I was saved this by the fact I was picked up by Elly so that we could go straight to the supermarket.

Yesterday morning it was sunny so I rode to work. I was late leaving the house so I made the journey in a record 16 minutes! When I arrived at work some people who'd passed me in their car going up the last hill gave me a round of applause! I think they appreciated the gradient of the hill.

Today I woke up and it was chucking it down and I was so tired after a very late night (didn't go to sleep til after 1am) that I really didn't want to get out of bed - let alone run. At 7:26 I received a text message from a colleague offering me a lift to save me having to go out in such dreadful weather. Somehow I managed to decline, got into my running kit and ran to work. It was actually pretty pleasant to have a cooling shower while I was running! Although I feel tired from the late night I feel ok about the fact I'll be running again in another 5 hours, which is nice!
