Running in the Rain

Today the plan had a 6 mile easy run.  I am busy in the evening so my plan was to run before work.  Woke up at 6 a.m. and it was raining.  It was still raining at 6:30.  More rain at 7.  I abandoned the before work idea because I had a conference call at 8:30.

Lunch was my only option.  I did an easy 6 miles in the subdivision.  My goal was to run without hurting myself.  Every time I start feeling better I try to add speed too early and then I tweak my hamstring again.  Today I took it slow and easy and felt good afterward.

Jim went to the chiropractor today.  Jim, Kathy and  I are all seeing the same chiropractor.  He told me about this conversation:
Jim:  Sunday I went for a run with Jean and Kathy.
Dr. Lauren:  How did it go.
Jim:  Jean was feeling good.  Kathy's back was hurting,  My hamstring and knee where hurting.  I don't think Kathy's back will feel better as long as she keeps lifting up her big dog.
Dr. Lauren:  Lifting up her dog?  It's amazing the things you learn when you talk to friends and spouses.
