Running in the Rain

Yesterday I woke up early (yes!) and ran my 5 mile run. It was so nice, the weather was cooler, and there was a bit of rain. Normally it would be annoying, but not this time. Actually I love running in the rain. It's refreshing. And it wasn't pouring. Just enough rain to get a bit wet, but not soaked. It was a good run too. The traffic lights were working well with my pace, and my pace felt a little faster.

I did have to stop and walk a short way just so my stomach wouldn't kill. I need to give myself more time in the morning to wake up and drink water before I run. But I made up the distance I had walked by running around a block to get home a different way.

It was a great run and I recommend running in the rain some time. There's just something about it that makes the experience so much different and yet still very awesome.

I am probably going to do a no music run sometime. I will tell you how it goes.
