Rain 0 Coco 1

Woke up this morning feeling the wonderful Saturday vibes upon me. I can stretch in bed, I don’t have to worry what time it is, I can let my thoughts wonder around my head.

Then I wondered if today it would rain. We have had such lovely weather that it was only a matter of time. I don’t particularly like the rain, but I don’t dislike it either. I know its important for the ground, and everything certainly looks greener over the last few weeks.

So, I open the curtains and see the wet ground and wonder what it will be like to run in the rain. I give it a go. An actually, here by my place it was raining, but not in the park 2 minutes away! How strange is that!

Then I realise that there are two important things for me when I run
1. Music and very importantly, 2. Lip balm.

I have forgotten option 2, and it’s not in my pocket...dammit...I’m not going back.

I get to the park and see other runners this time. I haven’t yet seen the same runner twice. It’s a bit like 'bird spotting' :)

2 dogs decide to take a liking to me and I wonder if I got a dog would it run with me. Bearing in mind I would like a little Dachshund, I would probably need a tiny rucksack so it could be carried in there. (Together with my miniature tea-cup pig: BF is not wavering yet!)

So, it’s the end of week 3 and starting next week I will be running for 8 minutes. As this social experiment goes, it’s not bad. The last time I was involved in a social experimented it turned out very profitable ;) (and a year later I am happier than ever).

I am noticing something change in my legs. I certainly can run faster and longer than I could 3 weeks ago. I think I am getting fitter. My clothes and scales however, tell me otherwise, and I am hungrier now than I ever was before. So I will continue this experiment a little longer to see what will happen.

Countdown:
4 weeks till paragliding
6 weeks till 5km race for life
