Running in the Rain, Just running in the Rain

When i awoke this morning i thought to myself "gee i think i should go for a run, after all i work a double and won't have a chance later" I looked down and my sweet little pup and asked him what he thought. He just cocked his little head as if to say "really? Really? we can go running in the rain? YES!!!" Being the tremendously intelligent girl that i am i simply thought "it's only drizzling, we can do this"

Soooo when i was rounding the corner back to my house after my 2ish mile run in the pouring(yes POURING) down rain, i wondered to myself if i should have thought this venture through a bit more. I did of course go out with My new i-pod, my new nike i-pod sensor(to track my speed, miles, time, of course) oh and in shorts. Yeah did i mention i just threw on some running SHORTS! I did think through the decision just enough to grab a jacket(not a rain jacket though, just a little something to keep me warm, you know).

To be honest, it wasn't really all that bad till i was about a mile or so from the house, still drizzling(picking up a little but still a drizzle) but somehow it seemed that the temperature had dropped considerably since i left the house or MAYBE just MAYBE it was only colder because now instead of warm and dry i was covered in the mear drizzle, that after time is not just mear drizzle on you and your clothes ...i suppose it MIGHT be a bit colder outside if you are soaking wet.

I have to mention that, The ipod etc were just fine in my pocket and inside the bottom of my shoe. So no harm there. Just a silly, cold, wet, girl, who so desperately needed to go out in the rain for a run.
