Fresh air at last

Most runners have a weather boundary that they will not cross, it may be temperature (too hot, too cold), rain, wind, snow, for the most part I say think “suck it up, puss”.  Today I did not.  After I finished my ‘Works’ class I made the mistake of coming back into the house to grab my mp3 and jacket (it was raining, which is not a deal breaker for me), which turned into checking emails and returning a phone call.  Now ready to head out the door, it started to hail. Not a big deal, there were a few other things that I could do while I waited for it to pass, it passes, I get ready to head out and it hails again…this went on for about 8-10 cycles with torrential downpours mixed.  The thought of going for a run and being pelted with small (some verging on small/medium) ice pellets is not an appealing one.  Perhaps if my lululemon running tights and jacket were bulletproof and I traded my running hat for a street bike helmet (add in some kind of point scoring system or time trails, this could be a new sport), ok I’m a puss.

By the time the hail had subsided, I already had a full belly from dinner, so instead of the excursion that I had planned, Ry and I took the spazzy dogs out for walk around the neighborhood…IN THE RAIN!
