You know you are a real runner when ......

...... you pour rain water out of your running shoes when you get home after a run!.

We reluctantly went out at lunch time, we didn't go very far but today was one of those days when going at all was far more important than how far or how fast we went. It was tipping down as we left and as we rounded the bend at the top of the road not only the rain but the wind too hit us fair in the face. Any thoughts of  'fun running' were forgotten, this was serious!.


Don't think I mentioned that I finished my book by Jane and Mike Tomlinson. What an incredible lady, she achieved far more in the few years that she was terminally ill than most of us achieve in a lifetime. Once I get Christmas out of the way I shall buy the next one and hopefully be shamed into dragging myself out of the house.
