I didn't look that word up only because I used context clues. ;) Looks like a Portland kind of day... only in Portland, it would rain and rain and rain and rain and you'd never seen sun, only grey, for months on end so this kind of killed the rain love for me. Now that I'm in Bend, rain is few and far in between so a good spring rain shower is so much more enjoyable and cozy. And yes on the smell...so fresh! Running in the rain can be nice if it isn't raining hard. My last Boston 2015 it rained so hard and it was so cold that I'm surprised I didn't get hypothermia but usually running in the rain doesn't bother me if I warm up. Good job getting out there anyway! and I agree with you about the skiing (what you mentioned in your comment on my post)...yes!

They invigorate me!

I don't mind running in rain either, especially if it's not windy. We had a rainy track meet last Thursday and it was really interesting to watch the difference between the kids who decided they weren't going to let rain bother them, and those who defeated themselves before their events even started because "it's raining." Naturally, attitudes dictated performances, and the ones who embraced the rain had a really great day. :) Katie Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755072181704429315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-35088128082086696262016-04-20T07:31:44.968-06:002016-04-20T07:31:44.968-06:00I love your pictures too! The one of youand Cola is sweet. Running in the rain is a favorite of mine. The first few hundred feet aren't always enjoyable, however once I'm acclimated and running it is enjoyable. I feel clean and refreshed and enjoy the most motoring through the puddles. Shoes and bodies will dry, the freedom of running in the rain never gets old to me.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902173640094934686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-10689805383775848492016-04-20T06:31:40.565-06:002016-04-20T06:31:40.565-06:00I just love your pictures. It looks so peaceful and beautiful! I don't mind running in the rain as long as it isn't a downpour. That can be a little painful!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.com
