Training has slipped a bit due to holidays and Beltane and visitors but today I headed out for another walk with Ny and Justine. For the first 40 minutes my walk very much lived up to the blog name. There was a torential downpour and by the time I reached Ny's office I was soaked. On the plus side, the rain was warm, less people were out and it really quickened my pace (4.5 mph). The second stage of the walk was drier and slightly longer than normal as after our lap of Arthur's Seat with Justine, we detoured to the supermarket on the way back to Ny's. After a quick water stop I headed on for home before my legs started to stiffen up.
It was good to be back and able to dry out properly. A nice bowl of salmon risotto and a long hot bath with a glass of wine awaits!
Total distance: 13.3 miles
Average speed: varied between 4.1 and 5 mph depending on who was walking with me at the time
Weather: very wet then dry
