Pathetic excuse for a training run!

All I can say about today is a rather angry and pissed off hmmmph! Why do I feel like that? Well, last week I managed my longest run ever of 11 miles and am really pleased with my overall progress. So, today, I decided I was going to try and do 12 as a 1 mile increase to my long run is sensible in my book. Set off and it was raining a little. Never mind, I thought. However, 1 mile in it absolutely pissed it down and then the hail came down. Everything I was wearing, including my boxers, was utterly soaked. So, in a miserable pissed off mood, I ended up walking home. 

I will have another bash at it tomorrow. Only got 3 weeks to go until my 10k race which I'm looking forward to. Stats from the last few runs:
