A rainy run

[sawyl]

Although it was raining reasonably heavily when I left the house, it wasn't until I was ten minutes in that heavens opened and it became completely torrential. So utterly soaked that I had to re-tie the drawstring on my shorts I switched routes, chopping a few miles of my planned route, and dashed home as quickly as I could. When I got home my hands were so cold, despite my gloves, that I'd lost most of the feeling in them and I spent the next 15 minutes moaning in pain as it started to come back. Not exactly the best way to start the day.

ETA: It turns out that R was out running at the same time, further down the coast, got caught up in exactly the same weather, and got home to discover that her mascara had run leaving her looking like a very sad panda. Clearly I need to raise my sartorial game...
