Running in the rain

Living in Portland, you would think that we have to run in the rain a lot. Actually, we almost never run in the rain. We run on wet pavement a lot, but very rarely does the rain actually catch us while we're running. And when it does catch us, it is normally a very light drizzle.

Both Wednesday and Thursday runs were in the "rain" this week. I don't have a good running rain shell and I HATE wearing my rain coat when running because I get so hot and the sound of the swishing drives me nuts. Therefore, I normally get a little wet. However, when you can see raindrops bouncing off your fists as you swing your arms or hit your face as you run into the wind, you feel pretty badass :)
