Ok, so for those of you who don't know I have been pre-training for a 1/2 marathon in February. So I am going for my morning run and I did think I would beat the rain like I did yesterday. But I don't. It begins to sprinkle and it honestly felt good, I was 1/2 done with my run and hot. So I hit my mark and turn around to start home and the rain begins to come done a little heavier, and I am thinking oh jeez I have become one of those devoted runners who you drive by and think wow there is a devoted runner. Then it begins to POUR!!!! And I am now thinking I am one of those idiot runners you drive by and think I would really like to drive in the gutter and splash them with water. Hahaha. At this point I am still 3 miles away from the house and have no choice but to continue running. I am so soaked, I am afraid to change the lame song that popped up on my ipod for fear I will ruin it in the rain, and can't help but think my new shoes will no longer look new once this is over. But alas it stops pouring and begins sprinkling, I pass 2 other runners, and sigh with relief that there are others running in the rain and I only have one block to go...And then this thought enters my mind...I am no idiot I am worse! I have become an avid runner!

you always were a good runner, i have been trying my hand at it too. But i dont thnk i would be anywhere near "avid". The only thing i really like about running is that it makes my butt smaller!
wow-I'm impressed. I avoid running AT ALL COSTS. I guess that makes be lazy :) Good luck with your training!
