My objection to it comes when my vision is obscured from rain (glasses) and if my feet get wet (yuck!).The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-7611879683339317822014-11-08T06:35:29.313-05:002014-11-08T06:35:29.313-05:00"remind me to explain what a turkey trot is&q..."remind me to explain what a turkey trot is"..

I also ran in the rain on Saturday too and didn't love it, but liked feeling. It's like when I used to run in the dark at 4:00 AM every morning. I'd say, "who else is out doing this but me?"The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-14468227389806578802014-11-05T13:04:13.302-05:002014-11-05T13:04:13.302-05:00Much like dealing with the treadmill, you have to ...Much like dealing with the treadmill, you have to embrace the bad weather. I ran in the pouring rain on Saturday and did my long run in the wind storm Sunday morning. Makes me feel young, carefree and kind of badass (and a little dumbass as well). Reminds me of going outside to play tackle football whenever it snowed when I was in high school and college. During my twenty miler on Sunday, I only saw one other runner the entire time, and we gave each other a very enthusiastic high five when we passed. I did the Holiday Half in Brooklyn last December during a snowstorm, and that was an absolute blast. Just roll with it, man. How often do we get to act like kids and play outside despite the weather?
