Today was a rainy day, there was rain and storms all day long. As the day progressed I heard from a couple of my new runners group asking if we would still run if it was torrential rain... we surely would go ahead as that is what waterproofs were created for!
I left my house early to greet any early birds to the meeting point and as I got to the car the rain was still pretty heavy, than as if by some miracle above the heavens closed again and a little bit of sushione started to peak through. Our first beginner arrived moments later, within minutes the group had swelled to about 16 eager participnats - men and women - all ready to begin their running journey with us. I cannot wait!
Starting with introductions, a warm up, some drills and then the main session... the nerves seemed to ebb away as the group were chatting and participating happily. The rain started up again part way through the main session but by now everyone was nicely warmed up and the discomfort of the cold earlier was now forgotten. The last whistle blew and the session was over, we gathered together to do stretches and cool down before I dished out the homework to complete before next weeks session. A really good keen group to work with - and with a few more due to join us in week two - the next 8 weeks should be good fun with some great success for everyone involved.
