Heaven's Tears

Today was the second time I've run in the rain in recent years. I LOVE IT! The rain almost turned to hail. I kept sticking my tongue out, hoping the water would slide off my nose and drop into my mouth. I hope it rains all week, all month, all year! No, I guess not all year. I am a hot weather person, and swimming is, of course, another joy. I can find something beautiful in every season.

Today I ran the Otter loop. I must be getting better because I didn't even feel very tired the entire run. The only time was 1/3 the way up the steep hill, but I kept going.
People driving around smiled at me today. They are probably thinking that I must be crazy to run in shorts in the cold windy rain. I don't care, in fact I kind of like to think I'm just dedicated. Maybe they wonder if I'm training for a marothon? I'm not. It's just fun. Especially in the rain. Why does it look so funny to see people wearing shorts in the winter? It's like trying to ajust our eyes to the light after emerging from a movie theater. Summertime- no problem. Skin, skin, skin.
