Runnin’ in the rain
It’s a gloomy, rainy day in Portland and I was not feeling very motivated to get outside and do my run. I realllllly wanted to get in one last good workout before my Red Hottie weigh-in tomorrow morning, though, so as soon as I saw a break in the rain I threw on my shoes and went out for a 6 miler. I took a different route through downtown and got in lots of up & downhills, which was a nice way to mix things up. About four miles in, it started raining again…hard! At that point I didn’t have any option but to keep running & finish my 6 miles, which I did. And running in the rain isn’t that bad, once you get going. For some reason just *starting* a run in the rain is the really hart part for me.

Anyhow, that’s out of the way now, and in a little while we’re going to meet some friends to watch basketball. (Rock Chalk Jayhawk! I have to say that for my friend Tye, he’s a huge KU supporter). :P I know the bar we’re going to and they serve brown rice & chicken bentos, so I planned for that today and already put it into my calorie tracker, making sure it fits into the plan and it does, so I’m good to go!

I hope all of my buddies are having good, successful OP weekends! See you tomorrow for weigh-in!
