torrential downpours
didn't stop me today!! i was a good girl and headed out at about 5.40 for my 1 hour. It was just drizzling most of the way but started to bucket down about 15 mins before the end. Just to mix it up I headed down oxford st (secretly thinking i could avoid rain by running under shop awnings...) and the around the bottom of hyde park and back. then i sort of looped around my neck of the woods to keep close to home so that i could be inside as soon as the hour was up!!
ok - i will admit - it was not thaaaatttt bad. except for the end bit where i ended up soaking. but there is something truly fabulous about peeling wet clothes off and jumping in a steaming shower!
(i didn't wear my pretty new shoes just in case... :)
EDIT - lunchtime - gym visit. 25 mins on the cross trainer (360 cals) and a goood looooooong stretch.
EDIT 2 - spin class after work. took it pretty easy. realised about half way that it was dumb given that i have hills tomorrow. i have a problem with moderation. you might be able to tell...

Not wrong there about jumping into a great hot shower after coming home soaked to the bone from a run in the rain. Very nice. The most hazardous part of the experience for me, though, is avoiding the wrath of wife and/or children as I seek to sneak from front door - wet, smelly, and looking in need of a good fumigation - to the shower. I have been known to do a strip at the front door (inside the front door that is, lol), which presents a whole new set of problems!
Wow Ellie - you really have come such a LOOOONG way in such a short time!
I'm impressed :)
Hell yes. That's the best part about running in the rain - finishing, LOL.
Wow, that's a HUGE day Ellie. Nice work!
Boy Ellie, what a big day. Are you trying to make us all feel lazy? If so, it worked!
Nice stuff- thanks or the posting.
Reminds me about calories. I frequently switch recording methods and measures from miles to minutes and today decided to dio a month or 2 where I train for an estimated calorie burn.
Target 5000-10,000..... calories per week.
