Running in the Rain

I ran in the rain today! Super geared up for it. I wore leggings and then some wind breaker type running pants over those. Then a long sleeved shirt, my Whistlestop rain jacket, and I still have our Disney Land rain poncho, so I wore that, too. I did still get wet! But it wasn't too bad. And my new shoes did pretty good but I think I will get some water resistant spray for the top of them. My feet were wet by the time I got home. My garmin tells me I ran 4.10 miles in 39m 54s. Beyond happy about that! I considered doing 5 miles but, by the end of 4, I'd had enough. There was a giant work truck (like a container truck) on the path right by that wooden bridge when I was wrapping up mile 4 and I had to run through puddles to get around it so I decided that was enough. They had a hose going into that creek so maybe they were pulling water out to deter flooding? I have no idea what they were doing! As you know, I did get out of my driveway yesterday and I went to the gym. Did my usual weightlifting routine then I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes at a crazy high incline. So that was that! Still not feeling great but I'm waaaay super medicated now.

Wow! You are a braver runner than I am! And I'm very impressed with your time given all the clothing you had on. Very impressive!

Day off for me here so we could get to Luck LC for Pastor Ralph's retirement by 10 am. Back t it tomorrow.

They could have been pulling water out of the lake. I see where the Truckee River is suppose to flood near downtown.

Thank you! I was proud of myself for doing it!

I forgot the retirement was today - hope you had fun!

Yeah, it's a mess over here and that's for sure. I'm very interested to see the news tomorrow and know the aftermath. I guess this also happened in 1997 and 2005.

Note to self: find a news station!
