Rained on

July 13th, 2010 Posted in Training Runs

Tonight, with cloudy skies and rain in the forecast, I went for a 3 mile run at Veteran’s Park. The rain started at the end of my run as I took the boardwalk into the woods. The trees provided some protection from the heavy downpour. From the boardwalk, I continued on the red trail and I emerged from the woods near the sand volleyball courts. Surprisingly, there were still several games in action. The last quarter mile was along the road back to my car. By the time I reached the end, I was drenched. The rain felt good. I didn’t mind being wet. I was thankful that it wasn’t a thunderstorm.

    Nothing like a run in the summer rain!

    I ran a 5K (and then continued to loop the course for a 15K total) in a downpour on Saturday. It actually felt good, after it had been so hot. Sure I was soaked, but I wasn’t overheated!

    Being wet had gotten old by then, though. I had 12 on the schedule and finished up on the treadmill, after a wardrobe change!
