Summer?
The weather in the past week was so bad that I actually checked the calendar several times to make sure that it was indeed mid July… My evening runs were almost all wet and windy and we made no outdoor plans for the weekend as the forecast was not promising either.
But then I read 12Honza’s blog note and after I placed a comment on how other people’s action kick starts me, it seemed weird not to go out. So here is another evidence of what Honza calls the chain reaction: Saturday: 10.3 km in rain and wind; Sunday: 8 km in similar conditions plus 34 km on mountain bike on top of it.
To illustrate my words, this is a Sunday morning picture of a popular lake beach near Leiden. During regular summer weekend it would be packed:
To be completely honest with you, at times it actually stopped raining. I took this picture as we were starting the car after our run :-).
So wherever you are and whatever you do, do not complaint (it is enough that I do it!), keep running and never, never give up. The sunny days will come!
That picture could’ve been taken here – nice to know it’s not just the UK having a washout summer!
It is just getting worse, isn’t it? It all reminds me of Janathon ‘weather reports’ – but then again: that was JANUARY for crying out loud!
Well, the chain of actions is never ending and you have added several strong parts.. 🙂 like you mention above here.. Your effort pushed us to run outside despite of weather condition, our laziness or late/early time.:)
Thanks for helping our self-supporting team to keep up! Cheers, 12:)
Feeling obliged by your words to…. run again :-).
