Today was supposed to be rainy. Like all day. So I decided to walk on my treadmill instead of go outside, especially since it was raining quite hard already when I woke up.

But six miles into my walk, the rain stopped. And being the WEATHER WIZARD that I am, I was like, “hey, there’s no way the rain will start up again, so let’s go run outside!”

And so I ran outside.

And about half a mile out, it started POURING. It continued to pour for the whole first half of the run (seven miles).

Pros:

• Absolutely NO ONE was out in that, so I had the trail all to myself. I guess there was that one guy I passed who looked like he’d made the worst decision of his life going out for a run that day, but other than that, NO ONE was out.
• I felt like a badass even though I probably looked like an idiot.
• It was finally cool enough to run in the middle of the day rather than having to get up at ass-o’-clock to do so.
• Uh…my hat got cleaned by the rain?

Cons:

• SPLASHY SPLASHY
• I’m pretty sure one of the puddles that I had to run through was like six inches deep
• There were porta potties at my turnaround point. I had to utilize one and it was completely flooded inside.
• I’m pretty sure my shoes are going to be squeaky forever now, because every time I get a pair of Kinvaras even slightly wet, they squeak.

I’mma go dry off now.

Edit: OH MY GOD I AM SO FREAKING COLD
