There are more excuses than one can name for not committing. Yesterday was one of those days for me. I saw the rain and I was going to abandon my running. I went to where my group meets to run on Wednesday nights anyway. My plan was to go home if no one showed up.... I really just had no real push to want to run in the rain. My training schedule for the Chicago Marathon had 8 miles down for me. I was not even close to being ready for 8 miles in the rain. So around 5:55 a runner name Bob showed up. Bob is a great runner. Huge Cubs fan... even plays piano in Wrigleyville. So off we went for 4 miles of a slightly rainy and humid run. I am a true believer in how good you feel after just doing it and being glad you didn't pass up on a workout. Honestly this run felt really good.
4 miles
37 minutes
Good Pace
Rain was actually feeling pretty good.
There are many excuses that we make but what will do today instead of making an excuse?
Just like you I ran through a rainstorm. It was yesterday and it the first real rain that I have run in in quite a long time. Not only was it refreshing, but it was great to be splashing through the streets while most other people outside hid under canopies and bridges!
