Got my camera back.
BEFORE:
Runners were asked to wait on the indoor practice field. My first thought..."what the? ...Practice field? Indoor turf?" Yeah. This was at a High School...there's some serious cheddar backing up the Football Booster Club here. And apparently, this is the "ghetto" high school, with the crappy facility. Nice, right? The actual field also has turf, and the stadium has box seats and instant replay screens. Talk about Friday Night Lights! Notice how soaked my windbreaker was after walking from the car to the building.
My hair isn't long enough for one ponytail yet, so I get to look like my 4 year old when I run.
Ready to run, rain or shine!

What a beauty, right? Just keepin' it real for you, friends.The big, fat thunder clouds rolled in around 4pm. The sky turned BLACK, and the temp outside had dropped 30 degrees by 6pm.
The 5K I had planned to run in tonight was postponed until next week.
We showed that thunderstorm who's boss and ran 5K anyway.
In the pouring rain
and under the crazy-town lightening and crashing thunder that KellyKapur would describe as "bananas". Kasey, Lara, Tia ran in the rain, too...and Fergie joined me on the shuffle.I am SOAKED....But it feels great. Tonight MIGHT have pumped enough adrenaline through my system to help me do it all over again next week, cuz rain or shine,
"...she's going the distance! she's going for speed!"

Ha ha. Funny about our almost identical posts. At least I didn't do the unnecessary zoom on that photo!
When I took my hat off, there was water dripping from it! Man, a hot shower NEVAH felt so good.
I hope that's not the last time I run in the rain. I'll trade rain for 90 degrees any time.
Hope you find some more running shorts. I'll be thinking about you running next week...at the exact. same. time. the Paul McCartney concert starts!
You seriously rock!! I love running in the rain!!
You girls are HARD CORE> rock on!
"She's all alone, all alone, all alone, in a time of need..."
You are c.R.a.Z.y
