Running in the Rain

This morning I am in the Indianapolis area. My friend Kris and I went for a run in her neighborhood. Kris is new to running, and is working towards a 5K. She has also never run with anyone else. So off we went in a light drizzle.

As you all know I am a notorious weather wimp. I bit the bullet though and ran. We had a nice run. I have known Kris since college, so we have a long history. It was nice to catch up and talk about our lives. It sure makes the miles seem shorter.

The course we traveled was rolling, which was a really nice change of pace from the flatness of Chicago. After one rolling hill, I thought - yes I could do Boston. Um....not really, but a guy can dream.

Out pace was slow, which was fine with me. Of course it made me feel wetter to run slower, but the damage was done - I was wet. We took 45:43 which is a 13 min+ pace. Again no problem. We ran 3.36 miles - a first for Kris. Woo hoo!

We are in Indy looking for a place to live. I visited my new store yesterday. Good people and a nice place. All in all a good weekend.
