Running In The Rain And Some Rained On

Running In The Rain And Some Rained On Flowers

Running In The Rain And Some Rained On Flowers. Hello friends, happy Sunday. How was your weekend?

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been enjoying getting back into running again. It has been really hard work and I have been worn out but enjoying it at the same time too.

Running In The Rain And Some Rained On Flowers:

Today I am sharing some fun photos from one of our runs in the rain last week, starting with some beautiful flowers that have been rained on. Love raindrops on flowers. I just love a walk in the rain with flowers. Even better if I can turn the walk into a run.

How beautiful is the rain on flowers?

Running In The Rain And Some Rained On Flowers:

So many beautiful flower photos to be taken here but I was in a rush as I do not like to stop once I'm running. Just in case I can not start running again!!

Hill reps were hard work but I managed to do 6 so all was good!! Well, I think it was. I could not move my legs, I could not run very fast and I could not breathe at the top so I think I did my best. But as they say, What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger! Hopefully anyway😁😍🤩.

Running In The Rain And Some Rained On Flowers: What I Wore: 

On my morning run, we stopped for a few photos of this cool tree. (Does anyone else talk like a baby to their dog? Or is it just me?).

I said, "Who look Mollie a butterfly" in the squeakiest baby voice you could ever imagine when I was walking to the tree and turned around and there was a park worker just walking by that I didn't see. 

He gave me a smile and nodded his head and gave me a sympathetic look. I felt so daft I wanted to disappear, lol. Oh well, it made me smile/cringe all day. Whoo, look Mollie a butterfly...

My Favourite Orange Dress: Over 40 Style:

Firstly, I am more of a red dress kind of person rather than an orange one. So this dress I brought got stored away for a few months before I even wore it. Once I did decide to wear it, it became a firm favourite!! Love it now! I have just unpacked it again for Summer. My Favourite Orange Dress: Over 40 Style.

  12. All those flowers look so beautiful! I haven't done hill repeats (on a grassy hill) in a long time. I'm looking forward to adding those back in to my training now that all of my 5K time trials are done.

  14. Wow! You were doing hill reps??? Good for you. Beast mode (and I mean that in the best way possible)! I love running in the rain. Something about the air during a rainstorm. I draw the line, however, at running during a thunderstorm. Thanks for sharing the beautiful flower pics!

    1. Thank you. I am slowly adding a few hills into my runs. I've a long way to go yet before I add them in regularly :)

  16. Gorgeous flowers! We don't have anything like those in Florida. I love those tree trunk carvings too.

    I speak to my dogs like babies, too. I wouldn't have been embarrassed in the least.

    Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  17. That tree with the butterfly carved into it is incredible!

    Most of the time I don't talk to the dogs as if they were babies. There's a lot more "leave it, Lola" (I swear she thinks that's her name), and "stop pushing Lola, Bandit" going on, LOL!

  18. Those cone looking flowers 🌸 🌹 💐 (don't know what they are called) are so pretty!

    I like your hair all different ways. It's nice to change it up at times.

  23. Hi Claire,

    Nice to get to know you <3 I don't know where you live, but those Kniphofia plantings stole my heart. They are seldom seen in Finland, imported as cutflowers for florist use. Congratuletions on your running. Tough job, but afterwards you feel so good! Have a pleasant weekend.

  29. The flowers are gorgeous, but I hate to see all the carvings on the trees. I have a deep affection for trees and always feel sad when I see them damaged or dying or cut down.

  30. The flowers are really beautiful! I'm thinkin' that running in the rain beats running in 90 degree weather, at least it would be for me! Hoping you have aa grand week!

  37. Great post, Claire! I am so glad that you are getting back to running since I know that you really do enjoy it. I am loving your hair in pigtails! Too cute. And the rained on flowers look so refreshed and beautiful. Those tree carvings are super cool, too. Thanks for linking up with me.
