Sunday Run in the rain.

Some of the members of the Swim Team asked me to run the Ravenswood 5k. I opted not to so I can focus on my running at my own pace and to complete a 7 mile run. I have less than a month before the Geist Half Marathon.

Last Sunday I ran 6 miles in the rain. In the middle of the run, it just started to downpour. I used to not like to run in the rain because of the blister potential. Last year, I competed in a the Muncie Endurathon - half ironman - and it rained the whole time. During the run portion, I developed blisters after 3 miles...it was so painful, that I walked the 10.2 miles. It was horrible.

For whatever reason, I felt stronger during the downpour and loved it...you should try it sometime.
