Rain. Nothing but rain. This is June in Nova Scotia. June gloom.
Three straight days of damp can make my motivation mildew -- sometimes I need a pick-me-up to get me out the door and into the rain for a run. This video works great. Check out the pure expression of that rush that comes with achievement. Hilarious stuff.
Now tell me -- doesn't the kid sound like the Asian kid from Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? Awesomeness!
This video got me out the door today to run a fartlek in the park with Alex (a fartlek, Finnish for "speed play," is a multi-paced run where you increase and decrease your speed depending on how you feel). We were like kids, splashing through the huge puddles at 3:20/k. It was one of the best runs I've had all year. Goes to show that poor weather doesn't necessarily mean poor running!
Running in the pouring rain definitely makes me happy of myself! Rock and roll!
haha nice video!! Its great that you are enjoying your running in the rain,after all that is running is about, joy!! Keep up the good work!
