Running in the rain

It was around 6 am, and the morning wind was surprisingly cold and strong. But it had not rained yet. Anyway, I thought it won't rain.

But when I went outside, it started to rain a little, but soon it was a heavy downpour. I have not run in the rain yet, so I thought, why not try. It's just rain anyway.

As the rain got harder, I was getting fully soaked. And the shoes, clothing got heavier. But I chugged along, slamming foot after foot onto the water filled tarmac. Maybe it would be a good idea for shoe manufacturers to figure out....waterproof shoes...heh...

The good thing about running in the rain is....you don't overheat...so running is actually more enjoyable..

taking cue from you, i shalt start my running today by running to the gym to run on the threadmill.

It is only 7km from my home to the gym, so, if i can cycle that distance, i'm sure i can run that as well.

thanks for the inspiration.
