I already knew that when I went out tonight that I was not
going to reach my goals of 21 days and 85 miles or even 20 days and 80 miles to
continue streaks I had going. I decided
to get out there anyhow. I took last night off due to the weather. Tonight it looked like it was clearing up and
on my way home from work, the ground was starting to dry.
I got changed and then went out. As soon as I got out of the front door, I noticed
the ground was wet. I said to myself, “WTF”.
It was raining. I decided to take my chances and go for
it. I thought about doing my loop run
and started to make a turn to reach the path, but I decided that I wanted to go
up and back. I figured if it started
raining hard, I could always catch a bus or cab to get back home.
The first 10 minutes of my run, it was a light rain. It was
the annoying cold kind of rain. My face got wet and my clothes started to get
wet and cold. I decided to just do 3 miles and go slow. I was not looking to slip
and hurt myself. Plus, I was not trying
to reach any milestones, so there was no reason to go much farther. With a new month upon us, I wanted to be
fresh
.
After about the first mile and a half, the rain started to
subside. I finished running downhill very carefully and made it home not as wet
as I thought
