Great day for a swim

April 2, 2015 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Raining cats and dogs

Comments:
Maybe I'm better off training for a Triathlon. I asked Kate if she wanted to join me in a "three legged race" but she declined, saying it looked like it might rain.

So this doesn't have to be a couples' expedition, that's fine, but I am determined to go ahead and get my running in every day. I figured this would be great. Kate wouldn't be there to keep me from running, I could go at my own pace, and delight in the cool mist of a light rain.

But, as usual, the weatherman was wrong, and the 30% chance of a drizzle turned into torrential downpour just as I turned onto Harriet Drive.

I came back looking like the time I had tried to save the neighbor's cat from drowning in the swimming pool, and to about the same ungrateful attitude.

"Are you going to track mud into the living room every morning?"
"You're going to catch pneumonia."
"This isn't something you're cut out for anymore."

Joke's on her though. Dodging the raindrops cut my time by two minutes.
