Running in the Rain

I don't know if you've ever though about running in the rain, but it's not as glamorous as it sounds. Kim planned a 7 mile route that, on a normal day probably would have been a no-brainer. Today, it was an adventure to put it mildly. During the first mile, it started to down pour. We were already soaked with 6.5 miles left to go. The rain backed off a little bit and though it wasn't enjoyable, it wasn't nearly as bad as before. What made it especially difficult was dodging all of the ginormous puddles that continued to build up throughout the whole route. This was just one of those days where time doesn't matter, you just keep running to finish. And finish we did, after we stopped at the move theater so Kim could use the bathroom. Seriously, there was a lot of mishap along the way of the run. And even though it was slower than normal, my legs definitely feel 7 miles worth of worn and sore.

Now I'm going to celebrate my going drinking lots and lots of coffee. And maybe take a nap. The best part of the run? Kim and I decided that we are hardcore runners. In between the "oh my gosh my shoes!" and the "yuck, the mud!" we really are a couple of tough chicks. Pictures to follow. I promise they're hilarious.
