wet.

Krista and i went for a run tonight. When she called at 7:30 to tell me she was home, she asked if i still wanted to go out.
"Do you think it might rain?" she asked.
I didn't know, but told her i didn't mind getting a little wet. She admitted she was looking for an excuse not to run, so we decided to get it taken care of and then feel better for doing so. We decided on a loop from her house to the arboretum, through the arboretum, and back home. There are plenty of trails to take, so we could decide how long or short to make the run on a run-by-run basis. We made it halfway to the arboretum when it started raining. Not little sprinkles, but buckets of water being dumped from the sky all at once. Since we were already wet, we kept going, hoping not to become known as "the local girls hit by lightening." This was a short run, some 1.78 miles, but we kept going. It was raining so hard that i could just look up and open my mouth to get some water. We were both thoroughly soaked- clothes, shoes, ipods, etc. As I dodged a deep puddle, i wondered aloud what the difference was. My feet were sloshing around as it was. I honestly don't think anything on my could have absorbed more water. When we were about 200 feet from her house, an acton police car was passing us and stopped to ask if we wanted a ride. What a nice fellow! Maybe we should have said yes. It's always good to see the police as nice people who don't mind getting their cruiser wet. Here's a picture of us when we got back. Mind you, we'd both toweled off, especially our faces, before this was taken.
