Running with Fay
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Fay has visited Middle Tennessee the last two days. We haven’t had a lot of rain but after being so dry for most of August the rain was much needed.
When I got home Monday afternoon only light rain was falling. But a look and at the radar and I knew it would pick up soon. I needed to do strides and I really didn’t want to do them on the treadmill, so I headed out to the door. I really don’t mind running in the rain as long as it is not cold or storming.
By the time I got ready to run the strides, my socks were so wet I felt like I had weights on my feet. Needless to say, it was not the fastest workout.
When I got home, I had to wring out my clothes. I think I got close to a cup of water out of my socks!
Didn’t make it to the Y today because I had to attend a division management lunch. So I was ready to run when I got home. Most of the storm had moved to the east so I was able to get my 5 miles in between showers.
