What is it about rain?

I could write about rain forever. When I woke up and realized it was raining, my first thought was, "I've got to go running." It was the perfect morning for a run (well, jog or lope may be more fitting). There is something so renewing about running in the rain. The only people out are other people running and it just seems so easy to get inside my own head and clear out the fogginess. The rain feels so good running down my face. I can embrace the rain that would normally annoy me and let it soak in. Love it. My spirit feels better, my head feels better and my body feels better.

This makes me want to go running in the rain so much! I can't recall if I ever have...but you have inspired me!

My first 8 mile run training for the Marine Corps Marathon back in 2003 was completely in the rain. It was awesome!
