Yesterday was another first for me. I went out for a run in the rain on purpose. I wasn't out for a run and it started raining, I knew it was raining when I headed out the door!
I guess I have been what is called a fair weather runner when it comes to rain. Yeah, I've been in a couple of races where it has rained briefly. But for the most part, when it is raining I stay inside. I think I am over that now. I will say that it was made much easier because I knew someone else was going to be out there in it with me.
Shawna was planning on running, so I decided to join her. I will say that once we got going I kind of forgot about the rain. Now the wind was a different story. It seemed to be in our faces for over half of the run. Other than that it was a pretty good run. It usually is when you run with good friends though.
We did have one of my neighbors roll down her window as she passed and tell us that we were "hard core". I always thought the same thing when I would see people out running in the rain. I just never imagined that I would be one of them. Live and learn.
I will say that I won't be shying away from running in the rain in the future. Unless there is lightning, that's a definite game changer!
Later
