Running in the Rain

I've learned from my cat to just turn around and go back in the house if it is pouring outside.  Kinda rough on the training schedule since it has been pretty damp here in Seattle.  But if I can get outside BEFORE the big drops arrive, I am okay.  I've come home looking like a wet rat many times and always feel so virtuous for sticking to my running plan. 

Third times a charm

Headed out the door this morning for a run dressed in shorts and lightweight top. Lots of clouds and slight drizzle. Go back in house for rain jacket. Head out the door again and now we have more clouds and heavier drizzle. Go back in house for hat. Enjoyed a slightly damp but relatively warm "summer" run. No worries about overheating here in Seattle.

Running in the Rain

It is August 31 and the weather today was 62 degrees, rainy and cloudy. Today I realized I have lived in Seattle a long time. I actually enjoyed my run in the rain and prefer it to the 80 plus degree running in Hawaii. But, I can be so positive because the sun will be back tomorrow (supposedly).
