Day Eleven-Running in the Rain

I have become one of those crazy people who run during rain storms.
I didn't WANT to run but I knew I had to stay on schedule so I set off just after the rain had cease to come down in sheets but was still sort of sprinkling.
I don't mind getting my hair wet or my clothes but  wearing wet socks is worse than stepping bare footed into cold cat vomit and I should know, I've done both. Some times on the same day. Some times the socks are wet because I stepped in...you get the picture.

I have to say that I did enjoy being one of the first people on the trail this morning. I go to observe an abundance of natural wildlife! Robins doing a little home repair, cardinals showing of their plumage, a snail making its way across the "Great Black Tar Playground" (Rugrats reference) I also saw a bunny that was not very shy and a whole mess of goldfinches. Did you know that a group of goldfinches is called a charm?!
I also saw some worms that I stepped on 'cus I'm like that. I didn't step on ALL the worms, just the ones that were in my way. It wasn't like they didn't see me coming. hehehehe.

I have 100 days until the Tunnel to Towers Run with what seems to be little improvement. I'm not sore anymore so one could view that as an improvement but I'd really like to see myself running farther or longer SOMETHING has to be gained from this deplorable activity! I know! I know, "Slow and steady win the race!" But slow and steady is wanting me to poke my eyes out.
