It was great because I was literally usually by myself or maybe 1-2 other daring people out there. These were some of the most memorable runs I have had in some time, and I felt probably the best after those runs rather than a sunny, 70 degree day. <br /><br />Here's to crappy weather!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373200551519838456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-80892020037657503592011-11-30T12:53:50.952-05:002011-11-30T12:53:50.952-05:00Those runs are the best!! and really make you appr...Those runs are the best!! and really make you appreciate that you are able to run in the first place :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011009498623515710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-63223867593666386912011-11-30T11:57:58.945-05:002011-11-30T11:57:58.945-05:00So glad you had a good run!

Something so refreshing about it. Plus when you are already soaked, you can't get any wetter and you can run and slash through all the big puddles. I could do with the additional chafing problems, but that is a whole other story...<br /><br />Do you do a lot of one way runs? I've done one way bike rides, but never a run like that. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing about your new opportunities! Hope everything is going well with the home selling/move/Tom's new job/and all the other craziness and excitement in your life.Ironman By Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148960105643826347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-32451171182725070872011-11-29T17:43:27.901-05:002011-11-29T17:43:27.901-05:00Oh how I miss running in the rain!
