Today's run was in a downpour. I knew I wanted to go out early since the temperature is more what I like, but the rain was quite heavy. I delayed it for an hour but then got reading other blogs and got inspired to just get out and do it. I know that I'm bound to have one of my half's in the rain, so may as well get used to it. My biggest concern is getting the itouch wet. I wrapped some saran wrap around it, put on the windbreaker and went out. I need to invest in a waterproof windbreaker and other waterproof wear for the fall. I should keep a shopping list as a gadget.. :) I didn't plan out my run like I had told myself yesterday I should do. So, i headed out to run the track at the very least. Got there, ran one lap and was bored. So i ran down to the Celery Farm. I need to research why on earth it's called the Celery Farm. Probably the obvious but who knows. :) I ran around once and it was muddy, but it was soooo peaceful and the plants and trees kept the rain from hitting hard. I decided to run it again. The whole time, no one was there. It was awesome. It was like being in the wild but only 3 miles from the house. Who need to find new places to run. Ok, i still do, but it's what I kept telling myself during the run.
I didn't notice anything of special interest on the run. I kept looking and thinking - what will I journal on the blog today if nothing comes up!! Then I kept thinking that no one will read this so what does it matter. Had this on going conversation in my head that it's just like a journal. It shouldn't matter who reads it!! :) but I love sooo many other blogs that I hope I can make my interesting enough to have people read it.
When I got home and mapped my run (close to 8 miles - yay!) I found I had a follower!!! double yay!!! Ok.. the pressure is on to think deep thoughts during my training to have material for my posts!!!
Thoughts during this run:
- I'm wet.
- Will this ruin my itouch?
- I need a waterproof case it.
- I love podcasts - who would have thought.
- I love Jillian Michaels
- Why the heck is this called Celery Farm?
- Ummm.. what kind of tracks are those in the mud???
- Two weeks to the Perk Up half marathon
- Wish the Perk Up Half was this weekend, not next weekend - just want to do it!
- What do I need to pack for the half?
- Can I do two halfs in one weekend like I'm currently thinking of doing.
- How many states can I run halfs in this year?
- I have to get a blogging book to figure how to pimp up my blog
There was probably more, but that's all I can remember for now - need to journal sooner after my run from now on!!!
