You could call it a case of cabin fever. It poured down rain 2 weekends ago. And then last weekend was so beautiful. The motivation to do anything physical has been minimal at best. Finally today I had had enough. It wasn't raining too too hard. And it wasn't THAT cold. Going to the gym just didn't appeal to me. And then I remembered how much water/rain/flooding I had seen from the road down at the park the other weekend. So I bundled up - long underwear (yes- I am a wimp), tshirt, sweathshirt, fleece pants, scarf, ear warmers, and raincoat - and off I went. I was surprised when I got to the park that there were a number of cars there. And once out there I realised what a die-hard runner is. There weren't that many people out there for a leisurely stroll. Well I kind of was. I brought my camera and headed on down the trail in the hopes of getting some pictures. The greens are always so much greener when it is raining. I took the path to the left until I could go no further (see other posts for highlights). It was a little over a 1/4 mile out. So 1/2 mile down. And then down the path to the right. I went 3/4 of a mile out. For 2 miles total. I wanted to go farther but I know that park well enough - it is so tucked away and you just want to keep walking. But then you do have to turn around and head back to the car. Plus I wasn't too sure how long the light rain would last. I took a number of pictures. It was really a nice afternoon out for what it was weather wise. And I even ran a bit in there. I feel better for it - that's for sure!
