Various heavy showers but it's not cold so it's actually quite pleasant to run in. Crossed over the cycle bridge 4 or 5 times as 'hill' training, much to the amusement of the men who were marshalling some walking event which was going on. Stopped to do stretch exercises at a gate overlooking a gymkhana on the way home. Lots of little Thelwell figures trotting in circles on Shetland ponies in the pouring rain. Met a man with a dog that looked not quite like a Mastiff, so I asked him if it was and he said it was a Bordeaux/Rottweiler cross. Beautiful big animal. Running went well, I can feel new muscles coming into use as I consistently pick up my leg more behind me.
