day.5.singingintherain

In high school, my friends and I met up every Tuesday for "Coffee Time." It was brilliant. A standing friend date. Of course we had weekends to go out and have fun, but knowing every Tuesday we could just chill and catch up was very comforting. I miss them.

After a visit home for Christmas, I told my lovely valley friends here this concept, and in moments Kieley was spearheading a similar event here in the RGV. Names were being tossed around for this idea, and in our TFA ways there was of course some long term planning going on. What's Up Wednesdays (WUW) was then created, and thanks to Kieley's persistent organization and Ashley's perfect attendance, we've kept it up. Therefore, I can't miss it to go for a run.

And then the rain came, with only an hour before our WUW crew were coming over. I thought I'd have to have a repeat of day 2. But then all of a sudden, Kieley had on her new kicks with Jack (her pup) in tow. We were going to run, rain or shine. I debated going to the gym so that way I could track my speed as I couldn't carry my phone in the rain, but the thought of playing with Jack in the rain was too irresistible.

How do you say no to that face?

We ran, walked some, took Jack to the dog park, and got SOAKING WET. I think we got in 3.1 miles. While I could not track this workout, it was by far once of the most fun runs I've done in a while. Lesson learned? There are no obstacles, just those you create for yourself. Rain could have stopped us, and normally it would, but not this goal-oriented gal! Not this time!
