I’m swamped with housework (boo!) but wanted to just briefly say how great my run was today. 3 miles in the pouring rain. It had just started as I was locking my satellite on my Garmin. The smell of fresh summer rain is just one of my all-time favorites. I’ve got a boatload of chores to catch up now.

So I’ll leave you with this W.O.W.: Never underestimate the power of your senses. Let each run grant you something amazing to see, hear, touch, taste or smell!

Perhaps when you log your miles, don’t just put down your distance and pace but write down one thing that your senses were amazed by. 

A few pics of some other rainy runs…
