I hate to say it, but I am what you might call a fair weather runner. I get cold easily and that first step out the door is really hard if it is cold at all. So, I resort to the treadmill on the cold or wet days. The saddest part about that is that I live in Seattle :( You know what that means. That I run outside twice a year. Well, I guess it's not that bad.
So back to yesterday. I decided to do a couple of chores around the house. Then I got to thinking. I will be mad at myself if I don't get my run in and I want to motivate my readers to get out there and move even when you don't feel like it.
So, I laced up my running shoes, strapped on my i-pod, stepped out the door and started my run. You know what, it was a great run! I ran 5 miles in 40 minutes and I felt great! It even rained on me and I didn't mind. I think this has changed my perspective on running in the rain/cold. It was actually quite pleasant to run in the rain.
Thank you my trusty followers for motivating me to lace up my shoes and go for it!
Happy Running!

The first thing I thought while reading your post was the only run I ever regret is the one I didn't do. WTG getting out there when you didn't feel like it.
