Guess what I did today... Can't guess? OK stop pestering I'll tell you... Those of you that have been following my journey from the beginning will remember me talking about my 6km loop.. For those that are new.. I have a loop with some hills, thankfully some down hills, and some flats... approx 6kms.. When I first started back in Oct 2009 I thought it was an achievement to walk the loop... then I moved onto run a lamp post and walk a lamp post... then we moved onto run a short way walk a short wayrun..When Mum comes to visit we do the loop together.. Got the picture..


So after not really doing any exercise.. not really is stretching 'cause the truth is I haven't done anything.. Monday I gave myself another rest day as I was quite tired and my ankle still a little tender from the cross country 5km run.. Yesterday I have no excuse except that I just got busy with life and exercise just didn't happen.. I was feeling really figgettey (not sure if it is a word) at work today.. We have had scattered showers all day and I really was hoping to get in a run.. When I left work it was pouring... though when I got home there looked to be a really big break in the weather.. I took my chance.. saying to myself 'if the rains come you can just come home early'..


So here is the part I am most proud of... I went the whole loop... and guess what else I ran the whole thing... hills included except for approx 300 mtrs at the end when my brain won the battle. To add to my excitement the rain hit and I mean hit about 2/3 's of the way around... I could hardly see in front of me... and you know what I just giggled... I had made it this far and felt like I couldn't give in to the rain... because if I still trained in that kind of weather... then I really can't think of any excuse not to train. And just to prove I got wet... here's the photo... you can't see it but the water was dripping off my hat...
