To sum up my weekend in Running
IT RAINED
and showered
and sprinkled
and poured
and drizzled
and dripped
and was just plain WET!!
But I didn't let the weather get my down...as my Brooks hat says I "Run Happy". And it is always nice to have friends to enjoy the journey with..

I was low energy again, but kept the pace with my little buddies. Until my right arch cramped, OUCH!!! Thankfully after about a mile the cramp released and I was back to pace. We dropped Janna so she could go to work and headed on to finish 10 miles..


Mother's Day morning it rained AGAIN, I met Amy and her friend Christie for 7 miles on the trail. We had never run with Christie, she was super nice!! The pace was much slower than I was used to. It is strange to change pace by 2++ minutes my stride was very different. Today I am am very sore and I think it is because I was using different muscles. Always nice to run with new people!! I missed Amy so catching up was GREAT!! It is time to start planning out the Rock N Roll Half Marathon outfits!!
After the soggy run I got cleaned up and met my Tall Family for Brunch which was AMAZING, warm scones and mimosas... Then Hubby brought the boys and we all went Bowling, I am horrible at Bowling but I always have such FUN!! Great Mothers Day!!

great job on the soggy weekend miles!
Well, my weekend was pretty great. And, um, it didn't rain.
Thanks for your comment today - Obviously, the person who made the "comment" that inspired the post is not someone I can 'un-friend' because we're, uh, involved emotionally... ahem. Thanks for havin' my back! I appreciate you.
Your friends look so tiny. :)
Sounds like a GREAT weekend despite the rain! That smile will brighten up any day. Nice job on the runs!
Boo for all the rain...yea for making the best of it and getting out there!
We had beautiful weather, and I was able to convince my husband and youngest son to go hiking with me. It wasn't a run or a bike ride, which is what I really wanted to do, but I also really wanted to spend some active time together. Mission accomplished.
My weekend was as awesome as it could have been with my mom living so far away. I got to hang out a friend's mom instead. And we played Mario Kart, which is always fun.
My weekend started with a soggy 16, but what I love about running in the rain is that once you're wet, you're wet. I was soaked when I got home, but it made the hot shower feel so much better. Glad you had a good weekend and great Mother's Day!
love the little studs and your husband - so cute and thoughtful! Glad you had a great weekend (even though it rained)
We live in Vancouver, WA....and I'm so flippin' sick of the RAIN! I'm ready for the sun to come out and stay for a while. :)
running in the rain makes me feel like a kid... kind of breaking all the rules i guess? or at least going against my better judgement. ;)
I always wonder what a 8:30 mile would feel like on my long legs. Im sure it would feel better than at 12 min mile. Im in the middle with a 10:30 now and HOPE I can stretch out soon!
I hate to complain, but I am so SICK of the rain. I think we will have sun tomorrow.
Happy Mother's Day!
Ah. I cannot wait for better weather, I am such a summer girl. However, I do have to thank you for all the long runs we went on together, I don't think I would have survived them alone in that rain. Ick!
(P.S. Although I am miniture sized, I just blame it on you being rediculously tall why I look so small. haha.)

Pocket pets! Love the running buddies...you just add water (rain) to tink and janna and they grow into lil runners! :)
Sorry you were soggy all weekend ahh the PNW! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MEL!!
Hope you have a fantastic week!!!
My weekend was great. No rain here in VT, We've been getting so much this last month, there is flooding everywhere. I ran a 5K with lots of friends, some who I don't usually get to run with, and decided to do another half marathon in July.
I have way too many pocket-sized running buddies (love that term)... if we lived closer, perhaps I would no longer look like a giant in every single race photo. :-)
Way to Run Happy in the rain!
