very rainy day

7 DAYS UNTIL THE MARATHON!!!

nobody else wanted to run with me today, so i went to campus alone. i was going to run cherry hill alone, but the stream rushing next to it overflowed it banks, and after i started having to wade in water up to my knees, i decided to turn around. there's no need to run in something when i can't even see the bottom and risk getting hurt. so i came back on the trail. wanted to run over and do the lake loop. except when i got to the rt.1 bridge, the water was almost up to my thighs. so never mind. i figured that it was better to shorten the run than to be risky and run through rushing water where i can't see the ground. i didn't want to get hurt so close to the marathon. anyway, it ended up being ~35 min (3.75 miles) in absolutely pouring rain. i haven't run in sheets of rain like that in ages, and it feels so good. i then popped in to Noodles for some lunch. it was great, standing there with water streaming down my legs. lovely.
