Walking in the Rain

Raining on US-1 from under my hat

 Happy Columbus Day!

Is that even a thing anymore?

Why would anyone actually decide to go out for a walk in the rain? I'm not sure anyone would, without more than a good reason. 

And yet, I with even less than a good reason wound up walking in the rain. 

I had decided not to bike because of the threatening rainclouds, but Chris and I instead chose to walk Finnegan. We have a regular about 1.4 mile route around the block and headed out with Finnegan in the lead. 

Big mistake! 

Halfway around the block the skies opened up and we had to take refuge for a while under an awning. Once the severity of the downpour abated, we charged out into the light rain to make our way home. Of course we were as far from home as the route takes us. Arriving home we were cold and wet and wondering why we had decided to try to go for a walk. It took Finnegan over an hour to warm up. 

Sometimes we make poor choices and have to suffer the consequences. 



Cancer Society 300-mile Challenge Update:



I did not ride yesterday due to rain and debris. Thus far, I have logged a total of 124.91 miles. I expect to ride today. I have 175.09 miles remaining to reach the 300-mile goal.
