Typically I am not a running in the rain guy. Yesterday I headed out, and it was a cloudy, misty day. I actually liked it. The trail I was on was relatively quiet. I heard the birds doing a lot of chirping. I think rain can sometimes make the trees and the plants look greener, and trust me, everything looked very green yesterday.
The run itself was a pretty good one. I did about 3.1 miles. I left the Garmin at home, and was glad I did. It's easy to be a slave to the Garmin while running. What was nice was I really got to rely on my my running and sense of pace to guide me through the run. It was pretty freeing.
I have often that we need runs where the watch stays home. Just focus on the run, and not the time. We get too hung up on miles and pace, and not enough on how our body feels as we move through the space. I recommend a watchless run.
This was a good solid run. I felt good this morning, and know I could do another run tomorrow.
