"Rain today, tomorrow, then cloudy with chance of rain on thursday. More rain to come on the weekend." It is the rainy season but if I don't get out I think I might turn into Jack Torrance! Running in the rain takes motivation of a strange sort.
It is the getting going that is the hardest part, but once you are out there the rain actually feels refreshing. Eli is totally unaware of what I am going through. He just plays with a favorite toy (today it is the cow rattle) inside his little yellow bubble. He shakes it, puts it in his mouth, bangs it against the side, and then coos as a car drives by or squeeks - loudly - if he spots a dog.
Get out, get wet, and remember "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!"
