Rain, rain, rain
Dribble, dribble, sploosh!
Dribble, dribble, sploosh!
Grab your boots, your coat, and hat,
Jump in a puddle and go kersplat!
Stomp about and become a drowned rat,
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain - A. Lachhut
Last night at 7pm as I sat outside Duniway Track in my car and watched my windshield cover over with water...
I thought dark thoughts, I prolonged the inevitable, I sang a little ditty...should I stay or should I go now?
This indecision's bugging me. The clash between hot seat warmers and big rainy puddles was huge in my mind...
...so I went.
To check it out.
...And I loved it!
FUN!
First track w/o in a looooong time. My left glute is still bugging me and a cold has settled in my chest, but I went for it and had a blast. It dumped on us the whole time but it was a warm rain and 4.75 miles later I rejoined my hot seat warmers, steamed up the car and headed home to bed. YUM!

Oh, Awesome!!!! Rain on the track!
Hope that glute behaves..Sounds like you got a great workout :)
YAY for you!!!!!!!
Love it. It is SO hard when the mind starts to make us feel doubt or that we shouldn't...but don't you always feel so good AFTER?
:))
woot!
ugh, rain. Way to make the most of it. I don't mind the rain, but I HATE the wind.
Wow, girl, you inspire me. I was looking at the weather for next Tuesday and already freaking out about running the track in the rain. You did it in the rain and the dark. I think I've lost my excuses.
A rain run sounds soooo much better than a snow run! Jealous!
That dread is always so much worse than the reality of rain! Glad you got out and enjoyed it.

Badass.
Way to get out there! I find that it's never (OK, not usually) as bad as I make it out to be while I'm struggling with myself over going.
I love when you dread something and then find out it's really great!
Nice job! I'm not so sure i would have gone. WTG!
Great job on getting out there! WARM rain runs can be fun - booo to the cold ones!
I love running in the rain! Unless it is crazy freezing outside!
Way to go! Inspiration at its finest. :)
It really WAS a nice evening...even with the rain. I think I was having trouble committing because I don't feel well. You know, everything seems like SUCH WORK when you're under the weather.
What a whiny baby :D
Warm rain would be great - cold rain is what we have here, though, and it stinks! :(
I love running in the rain!!
You are officially WAY more dedicated than I am! I don't mind a sprinkle, but I can't seem to get out there in a downpour like that. Nice job and nice post! Very poetic.
The rain...bummer. I hate ran. I hate alot of things about the weather right now, but sunny and 65 here today - yeah - spring is just around the corner.
I love running in the rain. Track workout...? I don't love that at all.
warm rain is the best, like running in the rain in the summer!
Awesome! The worst part is just getting out there! I can't wait to get back to the track!!! We are getting a dumping of SNOW again. It's mid MARCH!!!! Have a great weeekend:)
