Day 66: Trapped in the rain!

RUN: 1.3 miles

Nightmare run today. The worst run I've ever done.
Again I had to run before work (starting work at 10) so another morning run (boo).
It was raining quite hard, but I picked my moment to go out when the rain died down a bit. Set out to do a 2.5 mile circuit and my lungs did not work. My back and shoulders have been aching a lot for the past couple of days - I think it's cold-related symptoms to do with my chest/lungs so I've been taking vitamins and cold and flu capsules. I was feeling better than I did last night, so I set out quite confidently, but half a mile in my lungs were not feeling good. The fact it was lashing it down also did not fill me with confidence about not catching my death. Anyway, the rain only got worse, so I cut my run short and headed back to the main road from High Royds Hospital, via the cricket pitch.
Basically, lungs got worse (felt like only the top third of my lungs was working) and the rain became torrential. I sheltered under the trees, in only a vest and capri pants freezing and with poorly lungs.
I felt so sorry for myself I took this boring video to show you the rain, but it doesn't even look that bad. You can kind of see on the last shot.


As I type this I'm watching the Paralympics. Feel a bit silly complaining about the rain now, when I have four limbs that work.

Here's my 1.3 miles that took 19 minutes!
