Bad Timing

The forecast called for about 2.5 inches of rain on Wednesday, with more to follow on Thursday but dwindling away by 4 p.m. Instead, what we got was nothing, or next to nothing, on Wednesday, and nothing on Thursday. That is, until it was time for me to run. Right at 4:30 or so when I was shutting down from work and about to get dressed for a run, the rain started. That's what I call bad timing.

Today was better. Clouds are in the area and the temperature is mild. Only a slight breeze from the south, and water over the path in one area that saw me get me shoes a little wet. Fortunately they seem to shed water quickly since it didn't bother me on the way out or the way back, and they were definitely wetter the second time through. I decided to push for a little bit extra today and ended up going 7 miles. I actually felt good all the way through. That's probably a result of not running on Thursday, but whatever the cause, I'll take it.
