I waited for my running partner but I knew that he may not show so I didn't wait long. 5:25 I was out the door committed to 4 miles, rain or no rain. The run started off with light rain just like the website said, but a half a mile into my run it started to rain pretty heavily. This continued for about a mile and then tapered off to almost nothing. Another mile went by and the heavy rain returned.... this time it was here to stay.
I ran a good 4 miles, and was absolutely drenched when I walked in the door. I even had to pull the inserts out of my shoes so they will have an attempt at drying before my next run. If there ever is a time that I wouldn't need to shower following a run.... this just may be it.

lol. awww. Usually I love running in the rain... constant refreshment (especially during the summer), but it is quite unpleasant to have squishy running sneaks...
ReplyDeleteYea, running in the rain can be a lot of fun.... but a downpour can grow old quickly!
ReplyDeleteMy husband taught me a neat trick - put newspaper into your shoes for an hour or so. It will soak up the water. Replace the newspaper as needed until the shoes dry up - they seem to dry out a lot faster...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip - I need to go do that now, my shoes are still not completely dry!
ReplyDeleteA bit of rain is nice but downpours make you question your sanity!
ReplyDeleteI question that everyday.... but I do understand your thought :)
ReplyDeleteLooking back I would do it again, but would probably not take my phone or mp3 player. They both made it through fine, but I was concerned at the time.
