This morning it has been raining heavily for hours. I stepped outside to get 4 season tyres from the post box for the bike and my back was quite wet after a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Such rain might feel limiting if it fell several times a week, but it doesn&#8217;t. It usually falls heavily for a few hours, and then it stops for a few days, before coming back. If I want to go outdoors, I will need to wait until this afternoon today. It&#8217;s meant to stop at 1500 or so. That&#8217;s when I can go for a run.<\/p>\n<p>I keep questioning whether my happiness with walking changed due to wearing Trail Glove 7 shoes, neighbours complaining about mud, dangerous drivers, or dangerous dogs. I think that all of them contributed to the change in my walking and running habits. If you&#8217;re pestered by aggressive dogs, careless cars, and whingy people, because of muddy shoes, then the daily walk is less fun.<\/p>\n<p>Today I don&#8217;t plan to walk. I plan to run. I thought that the run would be in the rain, but luckily it seems that it won&#8217;t have to be. I will be able to run in the afternoon, without rain layers.<\/p>\n<p>I considered running to a meeting, and back from a meeting yesterday but chose not to. I chose not to run because sometimes clothes smell when we heat them up but also because I prefer to be clean when meeting new people. On the way back I didn&#8217;t run because I wasn&#8217;t dressed for running, but also because running uphill is more strenuous, and recently I feel better about running five kilometres at a time.<\/p>\n<p>I like the sound of the rain, and I like that it cleans roads and other objects and surfaces. It also allows nature to become green again, and to look more appropriate for the region. I welcome rain.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice that we have a day of listening to the rain, and roads being cleaned. Tomorrow will be a good day to go for a bike ride, especially since the rain seems to have been preceded by a warm wind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Yesterday I walked with a light rain coat because it rained a few times during the day.
