Running in the rain...

After having postponed my long run for the week 2 days, I went ahead and did it today. The weather radar showed a large body of precipitation over Birmingham but I took the chance and went anyway. The first 5 miles were simply a sprinkle of rain. Then during the last 2 mile stretch, the bottom fell out and I got soaked. It may be good practice anyway. If I am doing some half-marathons this year, I expect some of those might be on rainy days. I suppose I am on track to do a marathon before next fall. I don't want to go to DC to do the MCM without having run that distance once.
