Rain Rain Rain

The rain started yesterday, and combined with the 40 degree weather, has made for a very raw weekend. I had a 14 mile run on the schedule for today, but looking at the weather, decided I'd wait and do the long run on Monday, after things had dried out a bit and warmed up, and just try to sneak in a 3-miler today. Snowman and I started off our day today with a visit to the Broadway Deli for a yummy breakfast. Shannon and little Finley joined us, while Nate and Kevin went for a previously planned long run. I thought our morning plan was a much better option than theirs! :-) We had a nice leisurely breakfast, did a few errands and sat around on the couch, watching the rain fall. Eventually, around 3pm, the rain had become a slight drizzle, and Snowman decided it was now or never. We did a nice 3-mile loop in the Commons, getting a bit wet from the rain and a bit wet from the puddles, but happy to get out and start off the week with a run despite the weather.

Tomorrow's plan is to head to the Pinelands and run most of the Pineland Farms Trail Challenge course. Wish me luck!
