I woke up this morning to the sound of rain drops on my windows. Hmmmm, I thought, Six miles in the rain? Yuck! But, after my moment of prisiness, I remembered how many awesome rain runs I had while training for my last marathon. I actually started to get excited as I suited up. My first few steps were a little slippery as the oil was seeping up through the pavement. As I ran down towards Putnam Avenue, I felt the droplets sliding down my face and into my eyes. It may not sound quite as wonderful as it feels. The light rain is enough to keep you extremely cool, even on a sticky summer morning and you forget about any of the pains in your body.
All of these special parts of nature are things that we often forget about or take advantage of. And, the only way to enjoy them is to take it outdoors and think about all of our surroundings.
Whenever you have a chance, head outside. You don't have to run six miles to open your eyes - just take a short walk and breath deeply.
