Running in the rain

So, this morning we woke up and saw a gray sky outside. But, as we didn't run yesterday, this morning we braved the cloudiness and got ready to go outside. It wasn't supposed to be an especially long run, but I did want to get about 45 mins of running in knowing that I won't have a chance to do so in the evening. So off we go to the forest. M decided to do his recovery run and keep me company. But his "recovery" tempo is my tempo run so it took a lot out of me to be able to keep up with him. But I did. Then, I thought I felt some rain, but (as we are usually lucky with running weather) we kept on going. It got darker and darker and then a real DOWNPOUR. We were exactly in the middle of the run. Thought it would be a quick rain so we went into a shed. It wasn't easing up though. Anyway, as we were already wet it didn't really matter. So we ran in pouring rain. Trying to avoid streams of water (more for danger of slipping). But it was all kind of fun. Plus, there's no guarantee whatsoever what marathon weather we may get, so it's best to go out in something like this every once in a while....
