Puddle jumping

I love running in the rain. No, seriously! I really enjoy it. You kinda slip into this altered reality, and all your trivial aches and hangups just disappear. Like when you're in a race/funrun and you get swept along by everyone else. I also reckon those long runs are having an effect. So soon? Dunno, but I feel a lot stronger in the run.

Running along Burwood Hwy, and this car drives through a puddle sending a cascade of water in my direction; running through Wattle Park down a track already 2" underwater. Completely and utterly saturated! 9.1 kms.

Cold though. I started shivering on the 40 minute drive home, and didn't stop until about 5 minutes into a hot shower. Couldn't get the gas heater started, and the electric one takes ages to heat the room. Gotta love those summer storms - at least the garden gets watered.
