Run Two - Running in the rain!

Well, my training "plan" is a little behind schedule: I was poorly towards the end of last week and didn't think it wise to use what little energy I had on a run. The weather, as normal for this time of year, is crap, but I was raring to go after work so went for a run in the drizzle... and the results surprised me:

Distance: 4.5km

Time: 28m

Avg. Speed: 9.6km/h

Avg. Pace: 6.2min/km

I even managed to run the first 20 minutes non-stop without walking! In fact, the only reason I had to slow down was because I decided to wear two T-Shirts; the heat was way too much!

Of course, I may well have over-done it with it only being my second run. Two days after my first run I found climbing my stairs difficult as my legs ached so much, but that may have been because I was stuck in bed for two days and they weren't getting any exercise. Tomorrow, and especially Wednesday, will tell me if my legs hate me or not.

At this rate I think my plan of running a 5k will have to be brought forward quite a bit. I'm feeling pretty confident and happy :-)
