Wednesday is my (droppable) session where I'm planning to try and do a tempo run, hills or speedwork. Accidentally forgot the lunch I'd made for myself this morning so ended up offering to do the work lunch run - after all it was p-ing it down with rain and I was going to get wet anyway ...
Route therefore ended up including a hill straight out the door - not that it seems to show up on my stats! Pace also seems to be oddly different between GRG upload and Garmin website - must be because its Halloween - maybe bats have got in the satellites.
The most annoying thing about running in the rain in a city is UMBRELLAS! Now, I already have an issue with people using golf umbrellas in cities when they are on their own, but it's even worse when you are running and having to duck under 50 brollies a second (not that I've picked up the Scottish habit of exaggeration or anything). And strangers do seem to huddle together on the pavement making it very difficult to get anywhere - I did try and avoid the busier parts of town as much as possible but still rather frustrating. I have also ordered myself a hat today - it's not particularly helpful running when your glasses are so covered in water they no longer work (and I'm far too much of a woos to go for contact lenses).
This is also of course the last day of the month - and possibly the first month since I started running that I've not skipped a planned run (well apart from the one I unplanned because of flu) and therefore my GRG planner is looking nicely full of ticks! Proud Mousie!
