I love running! I just got in from a five mile run. It was 34 degrees out and a constant light rain was falling. It was peaceful and beautiful, the world takes on a different hue in the rain, there's something magical that takes place in a light rain or drizzle.
Once I've made the decision to run in the rain I've always enjoyed it. Perhaps its the tranquility I feel as the world appears still, all the animals seeking shelter and very few if anyone else can be seen. Or maybe its my sense of humor as I get a kick out of enjoying something most people wouldn't, I think the word is twisted!
Whatever the reason, I like running in the rain. Do you?
Some of my best race times and most memorable runs have been in the rain. I'm convinced the PRs come from the knowledge that the faster I run, the sooner I can be back where it's warm and dry!
