Rain

Christy and I had a workout planned this morning. The weather wasn't really cooperating. When we got out of our cars at 7:00 it started raining. Within minutes it was raining really hard. It kept coming down and kept coming down. By the time our 2.5 mile warm-up was complete, we were soaked!

The workout was 5 x 1 mile starting at 6:15 per mile and working our way down to under 6:00 for the last mile. Each faster mile was followed by a recovery mile of about 7:30 or so. The trail was flooded on part of the section where we were running. Our shoes we soaked. We would wring out our hats after each rep. We got it done and ran well. Our 3 mile cool-down was water-logged. 15.5 miles total for the morning.

Life is full of rain storms. Obstacles that get in our way from helping us achieve our dreams, goals, objectives, etc... We all know that life isn't easy. But, it can be rewarding. Some of the most rewarding times in life are when we made it through the rain. (Oh my gosh...I think I just plagiarized the words from a Barry Manilow song!)

Don't let rain, circumstance, things you can't control, a little bad luck, define who you become. With God's help, that is your job!
