Rainy Day

First off, I love the rain! I didn't grow up seeing much of it but I've always enjoyed rainy days. I suppose there were times when I was extra nervous driving in the rain but after living in Seattle for 2 years I certainly got over that fear.

Today is a very soggy day in big D. I paused for a few moments while laying in bed to listen to the rain before getting up for the day. Every morning the boys need to be walked soon after getting up. On a rainy day this can be a challenge. Cody is not a fan of getting wet. However, I decided since the rain was only a misty type rain we would attempt to do at least a portion of the morning walk. As we started out the rain was not too bad to deal with. I didn't feel I was getting majorly wet. Cody was coping just fine. About two-thirds into the walk the rain picked up. By that time there was no choice but to finish the walk in the rain. Despite the heavier rain coming down on him, Cody only stopped once during the walk to look at me as if I was crazy for having him outside in all the wetness.

After getting the boys home from the walk I had to decide whether or not I wanted to go for a jog as is my typical Saturday morning workout or opt for the fitness center. Once again the rain was lessening up, so guess what I did? Of course I opted for the jog. It wasn't long into the jog when the rain became, what I would classify, a downpour. I was rather soaked by the time I got home especially my shoes since I was unable to avoid going through some puddles. But I didn't care! I completely enjoyed being out in the rain. Simply put, I'm much appreciative to being in a place that has weather!
