I used to sit in my living room watching TV, and wondering why crazy people were outside running in the rain, 90 degree heat, -30 cold, etc. Seriously, was a little run really THAT important? I was one of those crazy people tonight.
Apparently, Spring has taken a turn back towards winter here in lovely MN. It was in the 40s today with cold rain all day. Well... I'm not going to let a little rain wreck my plans. Just to prove I still have some sanity left, I will state that it was NOT raining when I left my house. I walked for 5 minutes to warm up and then started into my first 7 minute run. Not 30 seconds later, the heaven's burst forth. Wet. Cold. Not fun. I get through 2 of the 3, 7 minute intervals, and I have 1 more left. I am 1/2 a block from my house, but I run past and do my last running interval anyways. At this point I'm soaked so what's the difference!
Its supposed to rain on Thursday too - just in time for my next run. I'm scared of fat, I'm scared of gaining weight back, I'm scared of looking stupid on a bike, or of maybe sometimes even actually succeeding, but I am certainly NOT scared of a little rain.
As mama always said, "You're not made of sugar, you won't melt."
