Fun in the Rain

Today I found out how relaxing it is to put on a pair of Nikes, put some headphones in your ears, and run outside in the rain. Anyone who knows me probably knows that I am not a fan of running, and hardly enjoy it, or do it for fun, But today, something was so calming about my feet hitting the pavement, the music in my ears, and the rain falling all around me. For the first time in years I felt all my stressors eliminated, and felt nothing but peace. Well, nothing but peace and the shortness of breath that occurs when running. I'm not a good runner, I can hardly run a full mile without resting, but for once I enjoyed the struggle. I ended up running 2.2 miles, which for me is great. Right now I'm just hoping that running in the sunshine is just as relaxing, since it's almost May. Maybe it's just because I was by myself, I'm not sure, but I can't wait to run again.
