Ran alone. In the rain. Matched my mood perfectly. My hair swung in wet ringlets and my waterproof sleeves gathered water. Maybe it took the edge off. After the 9 mi, I stripped off all my gear, including my rain jacket, and did strides uphill as hard as I could. In the rain. Bonus, I only had to add soap and rinse off for my shower. No need to get wet. Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 912 ft Location: Lake Lotawana, MO Elev.
