This morning I woke up to this forecast:
Columbia, MD (21045) Weather
Updated: Mar 29, 2010, 7:05am EDT
Right Now
Rain Shower
49° F
So I had to ask myself, “Should I run outside or go to kickboxing?”
It’s a hard choice since I love KB lately – but I also want to build my running back up.
I double checked and it wasn’t actually raining that second so I decided to suit up and ship out! Fun fact: I am more okay with it starting to rain after I’m already out running than having to leave the house when it’s raining. 
I figured it was going to start pouring any second so I brought my camera to capture the hardcore action. Well, it was gloomy, but didn’t start raining until I was walking home.
I’m glad I opted for the run!
As soon as I got back I popped a bagel in the toaster – I didn’t want to wait too long to eat! I slathered it with TJ’s Almond Butter (this is the quickest disappearing nut butter I’ve ever owned) and naner and Pumpkin Butter on the other side. And pictured grapes. 
More Books! Okay, now I really really need a library card because I ordered more books online last week. Look at what was waiting for me on my doorstep when I got back from my run:
There’s more, but I’m going to stick with one book at a time for now 
See you in a bit!
Make it a great day (rain or no rain).

I’m the same way with the rain. If it’s running before I leave I most likely will opt for an indoor activity, but if it starts raining once I’m out there running, it doesn’t bother me all that much.
TJ’s almond butter is the BEST!!!!
I actually kind of like running in the rain- but you’re right, if it’s raining BEFORE I leave the house, I probably won’t go.
I’m curious to hear if you like that book! It’s on my list.
It is NASTY in Portland. Buckets of rain. No running for me today. What can I say, I’m a wuss….
I can’t wait to hear about what you think about bethenneys book! I believe it will lead to soem controversial comments…
It’s nasty here in Philly too. Very interested to hear about Bethenny’s book!
It’s pouring here….so I’m taking the day off
I’ll be interested to hear your take on the book. I haven’t read it yet…I’ve been waiting to get some bloggers’ reviews first.
yes, you really need to hit up your local library. my library’s books, etc are online so you can search amazon then go to the library and see if they have the books, if not you can look up the inter-library loan system and wham, within a week i have the books i wanted. i just got 4 triathlons and running books last week this way.
i’m the same way with the rain. i can really only start running when it’s dry but i don’t care if it starts to rain while i’m out there. good choice
i’m bad with ordering books too. i have far too many!
Let me know what you think of the book. I’ve been wanting to check it out. Have you ever heard of GoodReads? It’s a great way to keep track of what you’ve read and want to read. They also have a bookswap program where you just pay shipping and get books that other members are finished reading.
We had similar weather today that halted my run. I don’t mind a little sprinkle, but I can’t take my 6-month old out in the nastiness. I was bummed, but did a strength DVD instead.
I love Bethenny Frankel and what she has to say! I need to re-read it probably for reminders on how to treat my body and food! You should totally by her new book, “Skinnygirl Dish”! You’ll love it if you love her first one!
Yeah don’t let rain get in the way of fun!!
Another great posting with valid points, I have been a lurker right here for quite a while but hope to become more involved from now on.
Even though I recognize your position I can not truly accept as true with what you have claimed here.
Another new add-on, I truly could not have suggested that better by myself.
Whereas I have an understanding of your stance I can not in reality go along with what you have mentioned here.
