Back in the UK...
...I felt like I was choking..water everywhere, it overwhelmed me, it pulled me down, what was happening? I felt a panic rise within me, something told me to plough through, but the water kept taking my breath away, Help! Somebody Help!...I am drowning...
Oh..Hang on, I am back in the UK and simply running in the rain. Gone are the days of running along the beach in Marbella. It's Tuesday, 3rd October, late afternoon and its pissing it down. Why did I run in the afternoon I can hear you ask? Well I woke up with a bit of a hangover, having celebrated my birthday the night before ;-), and the state of my body upon awakening did not exactly encourage any kind of fast movements, let alone running.
To be honest, I secretly had ruled out any running as it was my birthday, was it not for my two VRB's. The first one texted me from Turkey early in the morning on how he had run for 30 minutes and followed up with a text later on how, on top of the running, he also had gone for a long swim. My second VRB, mentioned while talking on the phone, how he had run for 1 hour and 15 minutes that morning... I felt obliged to go out now, not that I am competitive!
So I did, initially I was going to wait until the raining had subsided, four hours later I decided to just go and put on a rain coat. Admittingly the first 30 minutes were very tough, The "ugly" person roared magnificently with no one to encourage me along like in Spain, the second 30 minutes were fantastic. Although I covered less distance than in Spain (there are a LOT of hills in this area!!) I totalled 1 hour and 5 minutes of running time!
Well done me!
