Running in the rain

Saturday Nov. 15th........today is my 44th birthday. I got out of bed early with the plans of running at the YMCA first thing this morning before work. As aways the dog, cat & rabbits needed taken care of first. If not the dog freeks out & wakes up the whole house. The rain was coming down at a good pace so I jumped in my vehicle and drove to the Y. (1 mile away ) No body was there, humm.....whats the deal? It 7:30 and its dead. I looked at the door, go figure. They don't open till 8:00 AM......Dang, no way to work out & still get showered and to work by 9:00 AM, so drove back home & got the rain jacket on & off I went. I haven't ran in the rain for a while. Let alone when its about 42 degrees and windy. LOL....Oh well it had to be done! I got in 3.2 miles. Not to bad. I have a pair of newer Nike running shoes, but I really hate them, for some reason, they make the top of my feet hurt where I lace them up? I've even tried tieing them differently to try and correct things. No luck. I'd never be able to run any great distance with them. So I just use them for short jogs. Plus if I'm going to get them dirty and wet. Lets trash the ones I hate, it's not worth getting my ASICS all wet, With out a dough, I like the ASICS better than any shoe I've had so far.
I got cleaned up & made it to work 5 minutes early. The rain kept up all day and later turned into our 1st real "Big Flake" snow fall all year. Sold one car. Over all a pretty good day.
