I set out this morning knowing it was going to rain, but not caring. I needed to run seriously. Outside. Sometime about mile 3 it started raining lightly and the clouds looked ominous, but I kept running further from home. It actually felt pretty good.
I didn't exactly start heading home once it started pouring, rather headed to pick up my new glasses. By the time I got there it was seriously raining. I wrung out my shirt before I went in to the eye doctor and apologized for being so wet, but they were more than happy to have me in from the rain.
I left and had 2.5 miles to get home. I hadn't been so wet possibly ever. As Scott was writing the other day, I couldn't have been more wet if I was in the shower.
About a mile from home I remembered that I own a very nice, very expensive, paper-thin, Gortex running rain coat. It even has a waterproof pocket for my iPod. It was shortly thereafter that my iPod starting freaking out a bit and again decided it couldn't find my Nike+ receiver. Fortunately, I only lost credit for about 3/4 mile.
By the time I arrived home it was sunny & not raining......
Here's the radar from 30 min after finishing my run. All the green over the coast? That's what I ran through as to moved from Worcester out to see.
My iPod's still freaking out, so I'm giving it some time to "dry" before I freak out. Though I'm beginning to think that maybe the problem is with my iPod & not with my Nike+ receiver.
