Rain can almost be pleasant (Occasionally)


Juneathon day 11: run 5.08km time 30min

It is strange to think of summer as I watch the people passing by, huddled up against the rain, eyes cast down, enduring rather than enjoying being outside. It is strange to think of me out here dressed only in t-shirt and shorts whilst everyone else is wrapped up.

Well that is what Juneathon does for you. If there is only a short time available for running and it is raining and miserable, then run you must.

The good thing is that after the first few minutes of “Brrr - Why? Wh/ Why?” it settles down, you warm up, it becomes enjoyable, with the added satisfaction of having conquered your initial reluctance.

(Almost all my Juneathon photos are green so today’s is raindrops on part of a blue car).
