All runners and running fans,

Its been raining like crazy here in the IE which had kept me from running since Monday until yesterday. It sucks when you can't get your run in because of the rain. As many of you know I run five days a week and have two days off... well, this week I already took three days off so that means I will have to make it up next week. There is two things I hate most when it comes to running. One is when I have to run in the dark and the other is when it starts to rain when Im about to hit the trails. I don't like running in the dark due to the fear of an injury... it sucks not knowing where and what you are running on. Usually if its too dark I postpone my running until the next day and therefore will have to make up the day sometime later. I also hate running when its raining. The simple fact of having water dripping on me is just not cool...I really don't mind it if it starts raining once I'm in full running mode close to finish my run but just not towards the beginning. Today while doing my warm up exercises which usually consists of stretching, and sit ups, I had this lady passing by ask me what was good to tone up her ab muscles. I smiled and lay down on the floor to show her the situp position and then showed her the leg lifts... I emphasized that the key is consistency... doing three sets of 20 for each exercise 3 to 4 times a week should give her results in a couple of weeks. She was excited and asked a little more about me and my doings with the running... which I didn't hesitate one bit in telling her all about my running. Its nice talking to people that have an interest in what you have to say and what you do... After the chat I went on to do my run for the day which, as always, was very well enjoyed. That's it for now... gotta go to work Peace.....
