Wet weather endurance

Today provided some interesting conditions for the runner. Torrential rain has limited the amount of runners that were out on the streets today. Only the very dedicated to the cause have the inclination or the stomach to face this sort of weather. They seem to be like ducks who are unafraid to let a little water affect them in their quest for their daily fix of ‘mans greatest freedom’.

Running in the cold and wet seems to develop a strong and hardy stomach – so says a mate of mine who grew up running in Ireland. He seems content to almost be wading through a large puddle swimmer style and moving on his way as happy as a child playing in a pile of leaves. Despite this evidence of joy in running in the rain, a large amount of us seem soft and undisciplined at the prospect of this adventure.

Weather should not weaken us nor hold us back – strengthen your resolve and head out that door and into freedom. I’ve got the goldfish – who is coming with me?

Keep believing – keep achieving. Running together stride for stride on a life changing ride! – Sean Muller
