We are in drought conditions here in Mississippi. \u00a0Our last measurable rainfall was over 80 days ago.<\/p>\n

It. Is. Dry.<\/p>\n

I do have to admit that during the summer, having dry training runs, runs where I didn’t have to deal with soggy feet and shoes from rain, was very nice. \u00a0I got spoiled.<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? \u00a0My luck just ran out.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I am scheduled for 28 miles. \u00a028 is a nice, healthy distance and I enjoy running it BUT we’re scheduled for thunderstorms and rain most of the day.<\/p>\n

YAY, me?<\/p>\n

I call running in rain, duck weather running. \u00a0Let’s face it, the only creature who truly enjoys that kind of soggy weather is a duck.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning, I will lace up my running shoes and splash through puddles for those 28 miles. \u00a0I will pretend I am a duck and tell myself I am having a terrific time! \u00a0Besides, we really, really(!) need the rain.<\/p>\n

14 days until I leave for Texas and the Brazos Bend 50 miler! \u00a0Just call me the alligator whisperer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the 50M, I will fly to Colorado, meet up with MFH (My Favorite Husband) and spend a week with #1 Daughter and her #1 Fiance’ \u00a0This will be a huge treat! \u00a0I haven’t been out to visit them in a year. \u00a0Can’t wait!!! \u00a0Before that trip, there’s still the small matter of about 200 miles (give\/take) to run before I hop on that plane.<\/p>\n

A lot of exciting things in store and packed into a short amount of time!!!<\/p>\n

Best wishes to you and yours during this busy but wonderful holiday season!<\/p>\n
