Wouldn't you know it  going out of my driveway and somebody turns on the water tap, and the rain starts , This always temps you to turn around and wait for the sun to appear, Coming to ladysmith a whole group of runners are gathered underneath a overhang by one of Ladysmiths fast food outlets, Probably wondering the same as me why run in the rain,  The more surprising thing was the amount of people that were there for the run, No wonder  seeing that most of the runners had been house bound by the snow,  Still a bit dark this morning and it didn't take long for the runners to find the water puddles and wet feet, the rain had slowed and stopped and the running seemed to go better  some of the group doing 10 k.m and others going a bit further covering fifteen k.m,Joining up with one runner and talking her into running with us much to her trepidation  she joined us  in our run up to Cook street and back along old victoria rd. It is always hard to chance your pace to to a different stride and it it seemed that now matter how hard you tried to maintain a pace,  that every one else runs, you would unknowingly be close to your own pace a while later much to the  discomfort of the other runners , We finished our run and over a cup of coffee made plans for the week ahead.-- Run Safe.
