Another Run in the Rain

I have run in the rain more in the past month than I have in the past 5 years!  This morning I could see that the ground was wet, but when I stepped outside it wasn't actively raining.  Five minutes into it, Murphy's Law for Runners kicked in:

The rain will start to fall 5 minutes into your run, and stop about 5 minutes before you finish.

That is exactly what happened!  It rained the hardest at my turn around point, but I was determined to get in 5 miles today.  My dad is having surgery in San Francisco this week, so we'll be traveling and sitting for several days.

It wasn't cold at all, but I was soaked!  Even my socks were wet.  At about the 3 1/2 mile mark my pace was 12:15, I decided I wanted to finish in under an hour so I kicked my pace up a notch and finished strong.
