Rain stopped play

After missing yesterday's run due to being absolutely knackered, I was up at 0810 this morning to get ready for my 10 miler.

I got in to my spandex and shorts and opened the front door...and it was hammering down! I decided to give it 20 minutes to see if cleared and it eventually died down to a drizzle. At 0840 I left the house and started my run.

I made it about half a mile in to my journey when the heavens opened again. I was running in the direction of an enormous black cloud and I thought I do not want to be 5 miles out from home with that hanging over my head so reluctantly (honest!) I decided to turn around and go back home and it's been raining pretty much since! It's the first big run I've missed and I really am disappointed. I want to make good, solid, steady progress with my training and it's frustrating when outside influence stops me doing that.

I'm not going to be able to run next Saturday so the plan is to mix up the training schedule this week to a Monday, Wednesday & Friday run before trying the 10 miler again on Sunday - weather permitting. The midweek distances are yet to be decided as I may do a little more than scheduled because of missing runs this weekend.
