Rainy day ends in y

Just a little rain...don't worry sugar--you won't melt. Just a little rainy this morning, which is a real treat for us on the coast. We usually do not see any rain again until October. As I started out this morning I saw an owl on a wire. Very cool silhouette against the cool gray sky. The rain made things quiet and the air seemed cleaner...the trail was not dusty and felt nice and soft.
As I run the weekday mornings I generally travel down on roads and then get on a trail for just a bit in the back of a regional park. Nice little route. I end with several hills, one of which is pretty steep.
Generally I do not get rained out. Sometimes in the early spring on long training runs I can get wet, but not too much where I live. I have done several long training runs, 20-ish, while on vacations in Hawaii, and if you are outside much on the islands you will get rained on. The rain just comes in and wets everything down and goes away leaving all those wonderful rainbows. It is great to experience the different climates while running new locals.
Great day for a run...
