I'm not complaining.
We haven't had rain for weeks. The weather has been nice - if not unseasonably warm. Some days out and out scorchers......in October!
Last evening was also the training groups Tuesday run. I thought the rain was over for the day. I was wrong.
Just due to might-be bad weather, only a handful of us showed up. I'm not sure if that makes us more dedicated or some foolish. Maybe somewhere in between.
It was only a four mile run, so it was fine. In case of a thunderstorm though, I did four miles at 05:00. So technically I did eight yesterday. But it was the first time (I think) since June that I ran in the rain.
I get many don't like it, but I am good with running in the rain. More importantly, it's a good training tool. You don't know what race day will be like, so you should plan for this. Autumn almost especially. Wet leaves? Slickery. One must be prepared.
Everyone was soaked. I didn't have a change of clothes or a towel, so my car is gonna smell icky today. Wet, sweaty Blobby on leather seats that is now sitting in a garage overnight. Ick. It's as bad as wet dog smell. Maybe worse.
The rain is supposed to cease before most of you read this, but the water was welcome, especially from the plants.
It also makes for good sleeping weather.
