The flood of 2011

Readers, I love dreary weather more than most people.  But man this has been a wet spring.  We've had something like 13 days in a row of rain, and the ground is completely saturated.  I've watched a lake form outside of my office, a tree come crashing down on my poor roommate's Suburu Forester, and driven a truck through what didn't used to be a river between a corn field and a golf course.  OUT OF CONTROL.  This hasn't really caused too many problems with my running as of yet.  I ran three days this week, for a total of about 7 miles.  I have a ways to go, but it's a good start.  I even managed to use one of the rainy days to find a gym, which I am excited to start using.

Over the last couple of days, my runs have improved.  Not my times, necessarily, but definitely the way my body is responding.  The only negative was that yesterday the sidewalk jumped up to bite me and I swan-dove into the sidewalk right along Stadium Rd.  I'm sure the drivers that saw me would give me a perfect 10!  A little blood never hurt anyone.

I'm hoping to start at the gym next week, and I will start increasing my runs to three miles or higher.  Looking forward to an active summer!
