Running in the Rain

If you didn't notice, yesterday it poured!!

Ryan is doing his runs internationally right now (okay, I doubt he's taking time to run during his travels) so our friend from JogNewLondon.com and I set up a much-loved Friday afternoon running date.

The good news is that these running dates have traditionally been followed by pizza, and the pizza last night did NOT disappoint. But to earn it, we trudged 5 miles in prettymuch constant downpour conditions.

We resisted the urge to overdress and headed out in shorts and t-shirts. After the initial sting of the first two minutes, it was great! Hardly even noticed the rain most of the time. DEFINITELY noticed the puddles. I suppose jumping over them and dodging around them counts as cross training!

We did the run in New London, CT. If you want to check out the area and some great routes there, head over to JogNewLondon.com.

Happy runs this weekend! We want to hear from any of you who are running some of the many great Rhody 5ks this weekend like South County Nursing & Rehab, Rhody 5k in Lincoln etc.
