GETTIN' REAL IN THE RAIN

RUN: 2HR 30 MIN. / NO DISTANCE/ 4:1

I got up late this morning and look out to see it staarting to rain. I checked the weather Friday and it was supposed to be 70 and sunny all weekend. My husband's idea-jump back in bed and go run on the treadmill later. It sounded soooo tempting. I knew in 1 month I had a half in front of me on hills. It's time to get down and put the miles in.

I changed and headed out the door. The temp was 65 and it was a light drizzle. as I ran I realized how good it actually felt. I really relaxed and enjoyed all of the run. It turned in to a downpour at times. It brought back memories of running with my friend Peg in the rain years ago.And the determination not to wimp out into the gym.

The bad thing about the day was the wet shoes and the blister I got on my arch. I'm on the bike the next 2 days so it should be ok.

Something amazing came to me this morning while running through the soccer field.i has a quarter mile loop. ----SPEED WORK. I thought about going to a track but I can't believe I didn't think of this until now.


Game on!
