Today’s run was very, very soggy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Work stress lead me to go for a run outside today even\u00a0 though the weather report was nasty. I decided to head out a few minutes early because the afternoon called for thundershowers. Definitely wanted to miss that!<\/p>\n

Esplanade<\/p><\/div>\n

The temperature outside wasn’t ungodly cold. It was actually just the right temperature. The rain was steady but not too bad for most of it. I just put my head down and ran. I ignored the puddles that were soaking my shoes, and ignored the fact that my legs were getting covered in mud. Yuck!<\/p>\n

Puddles<\/p><\/div>\n

My time was pretty great for being so nasty out. I went the opposite direction than I normally do and I got to the Steel Bridge just as it was going up! Dang, talk about timing. This time I was smart enough to pause my Nike+ so my time would be accurate. Luckily I didn’t have to wait too long. At this point it was raining a lot harder.<\/p>\n

I got back to the office just as the downpour got worse. These markings on my jacket are NOT sweat. It’s rain. And my hat was soaked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Soggy and Wet<\/p><\/div>\n

But I was happy about my time!<\/p>\n

Today’s Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 31:02<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calories Burned: 424<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nike+ Pace: 9’06<\/strong><\/p>\n

My lunch was a cup of Progresso Garden Vegetable soup. 90 calories a serving. It was delicious and perfect after the rainy run! I also ate 2 Ak-Mok crackers.<\/p>\n

One of the things I love about running the Esplanade downtown is that I can really see how my time is improving.<\/p>\n

Some tips for running in the rain:<\/p>\n

1. Wear a hat.<\/strong><\/span> It keeps the rain off your face and you will be less miserable.<\/p>\n

2. Wear sunglasses<\/span><\/strong>–even if it’s not sunny. I did today and it made all the difference. No rain in my eyes!<\/p>\n

3. Wear old shoes.<\/span><\/strong> I didn’t do this and I’m back at the office in soggy shoes. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

4. Wear a jacket<\/span><\/strong>\/rain jacket if you want to keep the rain off. But honestly, the rain felt kind of good.<\/p>\n

5. Be careful.<\/span><\/strong> Don’t run if there’s thunder and lightning. And be careful you don’t slip and fall. The pavement was really slippery!<\/p>\n

6. Finally, take a <\/strong><\/span>hot shower<\/strong> <\/span>as soon as you’re done and don’t sit in wet clothes!<\/p>\n
