Today I went running and decided to do some hills. So I hit Knox Mountain. Knox has a paved road going up it that is 3.8 km long, as well as a series of trails running up and down the mountain sides. I think the elevation change on the road is around 900 ft.
Usually I just run up the paved road once, and then come down a trail, and then back up half way on a trail and home for a 10 k run. It makes for a nice short hour long easy run.
Today it was raining. And I just LOVE running in the rain, it cools you down so nice. Keeps the body heat down and it feels like I don't need to carry as much water with me when I run. All day when I was at school all I could do was stare out the window and the beautiful rain clouds forming.
So when I finally started running it was wonderful. When I was running up the road around the second turn some random guy that was walking down the road yells out to me "YOU RULE!". It just made my day. I ran up and down the mountain twice today without stopping once, felt so good. Thank you random dude for making my day and giving me encouragement.
