Running in the Rain!

It was pouring rain this morning. The weather guy said it would slow and stop today, so I was hoping it would just be a drizzle. I decided to run anyway. The kids wanted to run with me! I told them it was raining, but they wanted to anyway. I got them ready and then did the 3 mile loop. Since I didn't see them when I ran by the house, I went around the 1/2 mile loop. I was suppose to go 5 miles today, but the rain was really a downpour.

I stopped at the house and Joshua and Marian came out with their jackets and hoods and off we went. Marian's hood wouldn't stay up, so she didn't want to run. And then their shoes got wet. I told them they could go home, but they didn't want to. We walked half the loop before Marian realized she was already wet, so why not. We ran and walked the rest of the way. But the really fun part was looking for all the deep puddles to run through. I hate having wet shoes, but since it was too late anyway.....

We had a blast! Stomp, stomping through puddles while running full tilt, wearing totally saturated clothing was a lot more fun than I expected! We had a great time. My shoes may never dry out though!
