Running in the rain

I have found that I LOVE to run in the rain. I know it might seem crazy and cold, but actually it helps you stay cool and keep going. (when you stop though, you do feel kind of soggy, but it is worth it) I know that our moms always tell us not to go outside and play in the rain because we will get sick, but it is always so much fun, and now I have found a new reason to be outside when it is raining. And of course there are always the puddles. If your running partner just happens to be along side of you when you come up to them, you can always help them cool off by splashing them with a little bit of cool water. =)
Just in case you are wondering... no I am not in complete denial. I do have muscle pains and it does hurt, but over all I am having the time of my life! I am surrounded by people who are running for this amazing cause. We might have all come together from different points in our lives and for different reasons, but we all have a common goal, FIND A CURE. Some people have already completed a couple of marathons, some are training for their first one just like me, and yet we are all pushing each other and offering encouragement. There are smiles all around, even when there is sweat dripping from our faces.
