Day 25/63 - August 14th, 2008 Workout - Running

August 14th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

The weather just did not want to co-operate with me tonight.  I was looking forward to a nice long run, but as I was getting into my shorts, I heard the ominous sounds of thunder in the skies.  Panicked, I ran downstairs and took a look outside.  A little bit of drizzle, but nothing too bad.

One ziploc baggied iPod later and I was off.  I made it about 3/4’s of a kilometre when it really started coming down hard.  I was feeling the running vibe real strong at that point, so I decided to keep going.  The rain felt really refreshing on my skin as I took each stride.  I turned my iPod off and ran while listening to the sounds of the storm - just really taking it all in.

It was an amazing run.  I cut it short after 2.5km as I didn’t want to risk my iPod getting water-logged.  I loved it and I’ll do it again, but this time with the iPod left at home.  I’ve already had one die a watery death :(
