Tell me it's not really raining this morning. I am dressed and ready to head out for a much needed long run at the Runners haven and I think I hear rain. The temperature is a wonderful 70 degrees and after an entire week of slacking off I was much anticipating and looking forward to this stretch of my (short) legs. They could use some stretching this Saturday morning and now I am wondering about the rain.
If it is anything like yesterday it will come down fairly hard. I don't have a problem with running in the rain if I am already out and caught in it but for some reason I have a slightly harder time to actually go out into the rain to run if it already coming down. I may need to just get over myself on that point. Wet is wet is wet. It doesn't matter if it happens before, middle or end. I think.
I will need to adjust my attitude ever again and maybe instead of thinking about the rain itself I should perhaps prep for it instead. Not much else I can do except grab an extra towel and maybe find a way to waterproof the sensor on my shoe. Oh gosh, is that thunder or just a car engine rumble?
I'll let you know later how this goes...

Did I say rain? What rain? There was no rain. It might have been damp at my house early this morning but it had no affect on where I was going or what I was doing. It stayed an overcast, very pleasant 70 degrees the entire time I was out. I had an absolutely wonderful run. I need to check my recent freak outs at the door because I am proving over and again that I am causing my own possibly worst case scenarios for no apparent reasons. Luckily, I went ahead with plans and didn't miss out on a great 14 mile run in absolutely great conditions. That's exactly what it turned out to be instead of the wet, rain soaked visions I was conjuring in my seemingly diminishing pea brain.
So enough of that behaviour! Self-imposed freak outs be gone! Things are not the negatives I keep trying to make them out to be.
Where was that coming from anyway? Don't know...but enough, already.
