Winter's is here...

... and with it the rain!

[co]Now rain is part of the training course... no pain, no gain etc etc.

But this morning I have to confess to piking on run intervals this morning. All night I had been listening to the rain hit the roof, hoping it would disappear by 6 am.

However at 6.05 I was poking my head out the door - yep the rain is real... check the ran radar... yep it is here to stay. So I made the hard (or not) decision to do a swap...

...with the pool (the bed did call, but guilt won on the day). I figured might as well get wet while warm (???). So did some interval training tonight on my own.

So intervals is about warming up and down with some hard work in between. So I found a wee hill and ran up it or 7 minutes and down a few times (well 3 to be precise). A good workout... but never the same by yourself. Running with others (my usual Friday morning activity) just adds 5% to the mix.

But today was just too wet for me. Have to admit it there is a point where I admit defeat. Where is yours? Running in the rain is fun, except when you feel dryer going up and down the swim lane.

Ok time to relax. It is Friday after all.
