Rainy Days
Opening day baseball game was rained out today….bummer for the kid. Second year in a row that happened. It was a good dress rehearsal for the team though. They all looked good and listened well. Hopefully now more of that.
It was a mid day long run for me today. Nothing crazy, this is my true taper week. Long run today was only 10 miles. I felt great out there. Took it super easy….although my times looked pretty fast. I felt like I was taking it easy.
There was nobody out on the trails. When I showed up to the parking lot, which is normally packed, I was the only car there. I guess nobody wanted to run on soggy trailers. It wasn’t even raining when I showed up. It was actually partially sunny. That is some beautiful running weather. This time of year is amazing also. Trees are starting to bloom and there are tons of flowers popping up everywhere.
About two thirds of the way in it started to sprinkle a bit and then it started to really come down good. Honestly, I enjoyed it. There is something special about being in Mother Nature alone with no say in what happens. It’s a beautiful thing. Definitely one of my favorite things in life. By the end of the run I was completely soaked. I am hoping my shoes dry out before next weekend. They were that wet.
Congratulations to all of the people who ran Way Too Cool today! It looks like it is a well run event.
