Rain? What rain?

With TA's work committments, she couldn't be at run club tonight, so I missed my normal Thursday morning ride into work (I ride so that we only have one car after run club - and to get the exercise of course).

Pulled out of the garage at work tonight into torrential rain. Thinks, well I'll just go down and see who's dumb enough to be there... For the record, those dumb enough were Martina, Lorna (Owl), Caro, Fiona & yours truly. We decided that a run around the bay in the rain seemed like a good idea (actually, I'm not sure exactly who thought it was a good idea, but under the pressure of looking like pikers, the rest agreed :-)

Anyhow, to cut an already lengthy story short, we took it easy and did the bay and the canal loop at about a 6 minute pace, chatting all the way (no! :-) It rained on and off throughout - I like my Dryfit clothes. In the torrential parts the singlet stuck to my chest a bit, but they never got heavy. If it's a wet day for the half, I'm ready.

Found out on our return that it was the longest that Martina had ever run. Much applause all round.

My thigh started to whinge a bit about half way round, but it wasn't a killer. Iced it when I got home. It's a bit sore now, but it'll be OK with a bit of rest (I hope!). Nothing more now till Sunday.
