One Hour of Running in the Rain

Tuesdays are tough days and yesterday was no exception. I wasn't able to squeeze in my training, so I went out this morning in the rain. It was one of the easiest and most invigorating trainings I have had (in Texas). Running in the rain is really liberating. At first I was tempted to avoid the big puddles, but after awhile I went out of my way to splash in them. An occasional wind made it feel like I was stepping into air conditioning, but beyond that, my wet skin kept my body temperature just right. I bumped up my running time to 85 seconds and did 85/65 intervals for an hour. I had to force myself to come back home.
