Around noon I headed out to do some errands and run. I fully expected to complete all of this in the rain. Well, it was a constant rain up until about 10 minutes before I started my run. I was able to finish my 4.3 miles without a drop of rain.
Interestingly, I think I was a little disappointed. I had prepared myself for a run in the rain, but it didn’t happen. I kinda enjoy running in a warm downfall. It was a pleasant 68 degrees, so getting wet would have been just fine. Sure, I’d have to run half-blind without my glasses, but I was on a trail so that would have been okay.
I’m planning to do a trail 10k race in mid-December. So that means more time running on trails to prepare myself. That was the original plan today until the rain changed things. It’s no fun slipping on wet leaves. I’ll be doing a 9-mile hike on Friday, but without the running. I’m meeting a few other Friends of Cloudland Canyon State Park to do trail maintenance on the newly opened Bear Creek Trail.
