Ahead of target.

There is rain and there is rain. Today's rain was definitely full blown hardcore like bullets blown into your face by the wind rain. It's sting was reminiscent to that given by the fabled white mitre ball when it bounced off your napper. You know the rubber one with pimples which was favoured by the sadistic PE teachers who made you play football on red ash pitches in the dead of winter.

Enjoying getting up at a more sociable time to get my run in. Girls are l not getting up until after 8 so, depending on my run, figuring on getting out round about 7 should be fine and contribute to inter family harmony. This morning was an enjoyable 8k steady pace run. Did two big loops and one small loop. Got absolutely drenched from head to toe twice by cars and puddles. But you know what, I love running on days like this. You can only get wet once and as long as you are moving, you stay relatively warm.

As discussed, weather extreme inclement. Rain and wind in abundance. No pre run breakfast other than green tree. Sometimes a wee fasted run is good, leaves the body guessing.
