Rainy Saturday Run

This past saturday we were supposed to have another brick, however due to rainy/grey weather, our coaches decided that the better option would be just to have a run - and get soaking wet in the process. I think my shoes are STILL drying out...

But we had this nice little 1.2 mile loop that we were running so it ended up being kinda fun to run in the rain... reminded me of being a kid. Except there wasn't torrential downpour and it wasn't lightning and thundering outside. And there wasn't a clown in a sewer, saying, "Down here everything floats... and when you're down here, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!" (on a side note, I do believe I was eternally scarred by watching Stephen King's IT on national television as an innocent 8 year old. Ask my parents - I was scared to get into the shower for months! Secretly, I still check the drain every time I'm in the shower - especially after closing my eyes for a second to wash shampoo out of my hair. Although, with the rate at which my tub drains currently, I'm not sure Pennywise would be able to come up for anything but air, much less to kill innocent old me. And I think I could take him anyway - I mean, Tim Curry in a clown costume isn't exactly scary... wait. Who am I kidding? That would be terrifying!)

But I've included a picture of our team (this is about 1/2 of the Westside Tri team - everyone else was at home asleep and DRY) after the run on Saturday. Can you see me? If you can't, its because my face is cut in half sort of - the picture is actually a splice of two pictures and guess where the splice is... right through my head. I'm not sure if thats a sign of things to come or what... I'm thinking its not an omen though... (prays)
