"Only my wife!", says Scott. These are the words he whispers to me as I crawl out of bed and go running this morning. It is the first storm in Northern California today and it is a biggie. There is torrential downpour and the trees are swaying from the strong winds. All of this, but I still went out there to run. I was watching out our window, debating on whether or not to brave the weather, and I saw a little hummingbird sitting on our hummingbird feeder and then fly off into the storm. I figured if the hummingbirds can brave the storm, I could brave it for 30 minutes to run.

I ended up having the best run and even saw another fellow crazy runner on the trail. The trail was littered with gold leaves and the ducks and geese were having a grand time in the mud. I love watching rain fall on Vasona Lake and all the beautiful birds were trying to hide in the trees. I ended up running 3 miles (my longest distance yet) and came back home drenched, but very invigorated.
It is raining even harder now, so I am so glad I went when I did.
