I can't believe I've just done this...

Running in the rain makes you feel like a bad *kitten*, doesn't it?!!!! Good for you!!!

I had the fortunate experience of running in the rain in beautiful Wisconsin, among gorgeous trees, on a gravel road. It was truly liberating!!!

Running in the rain sounds fun! I'm already soaking wet when I run anyways, might as well add some inclement weather to make you feel more bad *kitten*, haha!

Don't see a whole lot of rainy days in san diego, however :glasses:

WELL DONE!!! I was a newbie runner at the beginning of the year and its SUCH a proud moment when you realise you can actually do it!!! Im addicted to the feeling of running a teeny bit further every week now!

Yep - never do less than 3k again (until youre on your tapering week for your first race...!)

I also love running in the rain, as long as I have a hat on to keep the rain out of my eyes!

Its always good to build up slowly because our cardiovascular system improves quicker than our musculoskeletal system can keep up! So increase your distance slowly to avoid injuries (and minimise your DOMS so you can still walk the following day!) My running coach did me a plan and my longer runs increased by about half a mile roughly every two weeks.

Dont be disappointed if the scales start being a bit mean to you and saying your weight loss has stopped or even worse, youve put on... Most of my running friends have this at some stage (sometimes for quite a while). Guess its the whole losing fat but gaining muscle thing. Keep measurements and other goals (like 5k/10k/half marathon distances) in your goal if this does happens.

And congratulations on your achievements!
