Rain or Shine... Mostly rain.

Running through Middle-earth
Miles from Hobbiton: 16.28
Miles to Rivendell: 441.72

I woke up this morning at 7 AM to cloudy, rainy skies. That entire sentence isn't unusual; though, I should say usually I wake up much earlier to go to work. But as for the rain? Get used to the grey, you're in St. Louis. Since it wasn't lightning or storming or anything, I geared up and went for my run. I had a new workout on the app today, as it's week 3, and man.

My muscles were tight from not running in two days! But I stretched out and went for it. It was a longer workout, so I did nearly 5K. If I had done a bit more running at the end I might have crossed it, but I was tired and it was cold and rainy.

Actually, it wasn't even that cold. My jacket does a pretty good job of holding in heat (it's actually a ski jacket I got at REI). Though I need better running shoes... my toes were getting wet.

Then I came home and accidentally made twice as much oatmeal as I wanted to eat. Go me!

Not quite as wet as I feared!
