I am using the Hal Higdon training plan, with a few modifications because I decided to do my long runs on Mondays, rather than use my weekends for running. I am fortunate that I can do that.
Which means that my first run was today 16 January and it is a totally rubbish day: cold and rainy. But as Brad always says, there is no such thing as bad running weather, only soft people. I persevered and didn't let a little rain stop me from my training.

Overall it felt good, but the rain was heavier in the second half of the run. Here we go!!!!
