Wow. I don't think I have ever been so wet in my life. Except maybe swimming. In the pouring rain, I ran 1 mile to the dirt track, and proceeded to do the following workout - straight through mud and huge puddles: 1K, 2K, 1K, 1K (400m recovery). I'm not gonna lie - I was nowhere near my interval pace. (What else is new?) But I figure maybe it's harder to run fast through mud, and I probably ran more mileage by dodging puddles before I gave up and sloshed on through. I completed the workout by running home, totaling approximately 6 miles.
I wore my hat (mm, tasty sweat), running shorts, sports bra, tech tee, camelbak, rain jacket over everything. The only thing that didn't end up soaked was my butt. I had to take off my jacket, hat, backpack, and shirt off outside the front door and ring them out. Awesome. I don't know how my shoes will EVER dry out.
Still, it was kind of neat. Most of the time I was the only crazy person on the track, alone in the mist. I think four other people showed up at some point for a couple laps each. I didn't think I was that cold until I got home and could barely operate my keys or phone. Oh well.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
