I needed more runs before the 8k I signed up for on October 1st. The weather forcase was calling for rain for several days to come. So, Saturday morning I decided it was just a light rain, I'll try it. I was a bit worried about soft wet skin on concrete so I was prepared to keep the distance down to 2.5 or 3 miles. Because of the rain, I didn't even have my gadgets.



Off I go. One mile out I'm not noticing any problems. In fact, it felt pretty good. I ended up running 5.7 miles (used mapmyrun.com to figure that out) which is a new distance PR since I started running barefoot this spring. No blisters and the feet weren't overly sensitive the next day. Maybe I am ready for this 8k!



I attrribute much of this success to this great group. I don't post much but I read just about everything. Thank you.
 
Wonderful!  I love to run in

Wonderful! I love to run in the rain too. Good luck on your race, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Let us know how you do.
