Me: I am going go for my run.
Jim: Have you looked outside? It's raining.
Me: I have a plan and it is to go for an easy run.
Jim: I have a plan too.
Me: What's your plan.
Jim: I plan to say inside and stay warm and dry.
There is a difference between water resistant and waterproof. Water resistant will keep you dry in a mist or very light right for a short period of time. Waterproof will keep you dry in rain. Today I put on my waterproof jacket. I also put rain pants over my running tights. I dug out my Gore-Tex running shoes and wore them with Smartwool socks. I topped it off with my Smartwool beannie under a brimmed hat. I didn't really look like a runner but I was warm and dry. I ran my easy run 4.4 miles in the subdivision. I would have gone to the trail but I didn't want to drive in case the roads started getting icy. When I got back I had icicles beginning to form on the brim of my hat. My jacket and mittens were coated in ice.
My marathon training plan is 127 day long. It started January 1 and ends May 7 with the Flying Pig Marathon. Today is day 13 which means I am 10% of the way through the days in the plan. It is flying by.
