I cannot believe that the weather can change so drastically in 24 hours!
Last night I was basking in Lake Windermere enjoying feeling the heat of the sun on my face and then tonight ...
I am running in torrential rain not enjoying feeling the cold rain seeping through my trainers and clothes!
However, I gritted my teeth and ran on!
Despite getting soaked by passing cars going though puddles at high speed, paddling though flooded paths and avoiding scatty head-down pedestrians under umbrellas with a mission to get home as fast as possible regardless of who they take out on the way I actually enjoyed this run tonight!
Although I was still fairly slow at an average 9.21 minute mile pace I felt 100 percent better than I did running on Wednesday evening!
Altogether I ran 6.27 soggy miles!
I really need to do some cycle training tomorrow - lets hope its better weather!
Just a week to go until Keswick Triathlon .... YIKES!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
