My rainy day run

Today was the last scheduled training run before my first 5K on Saturday. As luck would have it, rain came in over night and rained all day. But back in March, I started my training in single digit weather. So I decided that I couldn't let a little rain hold me back.

It rained during my entire run. Unfortunally, many an earthworm found a sudden splat under my shoe. Ew! But, I practically had the lake to myself. It was amazingly quiet. I listened to pounding of my feet on the path and concentrated on my breathing. Thought about my game plan for the run on Saturday.

Hardly anyone else was out so I saved extra steps by not having to weave and dodge around the walkers who walk three people wide (I hate that!). I made good time.

Sure enough, after being soaked for thirty minutes, I got into the car and the rain stopped. The sun came out. Damn. If only I had waited a little longer.

But all in all, I had a great run. I felt really good. I'll run in the rain any day.
