Rain rain go.a.way!  I set out to run three miles today. Then I looked outside.  I may have lived in the Pacific Northwest a whole year, but mentally I am somewhere else.  None the less, I was determined.  I loaded up my jogging buddy (Cinder, my boxer fur baby), and drove away to the park.  Nothing was going to stand in my way!! Well... until I got out and felt the torrential down pour soak my head in ice cold water.  And even if I thought I could withstand that my feet refused to move after i stepped on the sponge of a ground, freezing my toes solid. I  hadn't even put a thought into rain gear for running. Duh!!  Now I am frantically searching blog posts for good running gear to make  the rain bearable.  What else am I overlooking?  I have found a 5K I plan on participating in about two weeks from now, and can't have the weather get in my way!  What if it rains race day?  Oh my!
