Wet Run

 After about 3.5 (three and one half, if you missed the decimal point) I went to running group this morning at 7:30.  Little bit of rain splattering the windshield and there was more, heavier stuff to come.  Normally I would not even bother going out for a run, but running group goes rain or shine.  Suck it up, right?  It was not that bad at all.  Once you get rolling the rain feels pretty good.  I expect if this were October or November I would be singing a different song.

The men (both of us) ran around the high school and one lap of the track.  We did this three times with a rest in between each.  The coach went easy on us as two of us are running the 7 mile Falmouth Road Race coming up soon.  I get the feeling I was maybe not taking it as easy as she wanted, but I was feeling really great this morning.


At the end of the class, the four of us walked the track two times in near-pouring rain for our warm down and chatted.  By the time I was getting back to the car, I was getting chilled.  The running singlet and shorts offer little in the way of warmth, especially when sopping wet.  This was a good thing for me today.  One never knows what weather will occur on race day, so why not get used to it?

 Mrs and I spent the morning and afternoon relaxing a little bit and she also worked on her signs.  I decided to sign up for a half marathon coming up in late October.  The paperwork is filled out, the check is written and the stamp is on the envelope ready to go.  Can I be ready???  I damn well better be.
