Rain King

It's been raining for days again. Seems like April all over again. I played tennis last night (up late again) and hoop at lunch today so there really was no reason for me to go for a run after work today. But then the beast spoke "Hike up your skirt and show your world to me" (Dave Matthews-Crash) he said. 43 degrees and raining, but I had to prove to myself that I could run in this shit. The marathon is in November, it's entirely fucking possible that it will be 43 and raining on race day. So off I went to Mine Falls.

I was the only one on the trail today. I didn't see a soul during my 3 mile trek. I was the best runner on the course, the only person in Nashua with the stones to run in this shit!! It was absolutely one of the best experiences so far, alone in the rain, in the mud just knowing that I was the Rain King!! I ran fast, I ran slow and even ran a bit backwards (yes, I really did run backwards for a bit). It didn't matter what I did, I was the only one there. I yelled, screamed and sang my ass off with the rain dripping off my lid. I would have stayed all fucking night and just kept running, it was that good. I only had time for 3 miles today, but I cant wait to run further in the rain. It is such a good feeling, I can't explain it!! Well that's all for now, thanks for checking in..Ross

Song of the Day- What else?? "Rain King" by the Counting Crows, check out this lyric..

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying
I've been thinking
And I am the Rain King
