Ran in the rain and snow this morning......

       There is nothing more fun for me than running in the elements. There is something just so real, so raw, so devoid of any frills that lures me to being outdoors when it's at its worse. Schools were closed today due to the snow and I made up my mind to just try it, to go out and see how it felt. My feet got wet with cold rainwater within 2 blocks, but otherwise, it was warmer than most days so I decided to do my usual 3 mile route. I had a giant smile at the end of it and just felt amazing. There is nothing like running to bring out this feeling of triumph.....In what other daily activity does one get to feel this way almost daily?
