Workout: Cancelled

Reason: Rain

Post Rain Run - 2000 - MSU

There was a time when no matter rain or snow or sleet or hail or heat or cold, I’d be out there running.  I was a regular mail man.  And then, well, then I stopped running for a while, and I guess you could say I got weak.  Don’t get me wrong, if it were the middle of the summer and it was raining, I’d probably still go out running.  Or, if it were the middle of the winter and snowing, I’d probably go out running too.  It’s just these days that are in the 50’s and rainy…they are just not motivational to run in.  And so, instead of running, I took care of some things I needed to do at home. 

In all honesty, I miss running in the extremes.  I’ve run in hurricane like conditions, wind slapping the rain against my face.  I’ve run in blizzard like conditions, a foot of snow on the ground (and still falling), cars not even on the road.  98 degree heat on the Jersey Shore boardwalk  in the summer.  Still frosty coldness, 20 degrees and 7 in the morning.  I specifically like (and I’m sure I’ll get into it in another post) trail running through the mud and brush…the sloppier the better.

So, no run today, and I’ll be in CT tomorrow into Sunday, so it probably won’t be till Sunday afternoon that I get a chance to run.  Hopefully the weather will be normal so I can get a long run in.  Feel like I haven’t had one in too long.  So, until then…

Run on friends!
