Fool in the Rain

"I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless,
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey"
--Led Zeppelin

Anyone who saw me running in the rain this evening probably thought I was indeed a fool. But when I started training for a marathon, I vowed that I would run like the U.S. mail service and deliver rain or shine.

Since starting my training program in November, I've had to run in the rain three times. In a strange way, I enjoy running in the rain at times because it adds another element to work against and overcome.
My time in the 6.5 mile run I did tonight was actually more than a minute faster than my run on the same route on a clear night just two days ago. And besides, it may be raining on race day like it was on the morning of the half-marathon I ran in Nashville last spring.
