Running in the Rain

I finally went out to Todd's Road on Saturday morning. I had been to the doctor the day before to get my throat checked out because my tonsils are being taken over by some gross white spots. My throat does not hurt, and I do not feel sick despite the doctor telling me she thinks I have strep. I was pretty bummed until I asked her if she thought I could run, and she gave me the OK as long as I didn't feel sick.

Friday night I told myself and Gary that if it were really cold and raining I should probably not go. I woke up Saturday morning and still felt fine so I got dressed and went outside to check the weather and start my car. It was barely a mist outside and not very cold so I decided to go. When I got there it started raining a little harder and by the time we were running it was really very windy and raining harder. I decided to only do 6 since I hadn't run been running at all. The rest of the group except for the one guy who ran back with me was doing 14. It was a much less than ideal day to run 14 miles and they have my utmost respect. By the time I got back to the clubhouse my shoes and socks were soaking wet and I was frozen. Probably not the smartest thing for a "sick" girl to do, but I still feel fine this morning, so maybe it wasn't that stupid.
