Long run in the rain

Sunday's are our designated 'Long run' days on our Marathon training plan and sods law it's rained heavily all day! Gave up waiting for it to clear late afternoon and braved it anyway running just under 7 miles from home to Total Fitness gym in Crewe where I met Karen who decided to do her long run on the tread mill. As it happened the rain stopped after 3 miles or so but not before I got a good soaking! A good run despite, at a comfortable pace... 1 hour 5 mins 33 seconds.

Followed up with a shower and a few lengths cool down swimming in the pool and 10 mins with my feet in a cold water foot bath to ease a slightly aching achilles... Feels ok now.
