The smashing sequel to Singing in the Rain.
Murphy’s Law:
If you are out running, and a rainstorm hits, it will hit when you are far away from home.
Sad to say, Murphy doesn’t like me much. I checked the weather forecast very carefully, and it clearly stated “scattered showers beginning at 10AM.”
Beginning at 10AM, my foot! It was perfectly clear when I left at 7, with only a 10% chance of precipitation listed for 8. But at around 7:45, all hell floods broke loose.
When I finally arrived back home, my mom was there to greet me.
But what did she have in her hands?
A. a soft, dry towel?
B. a warm cup of tea?
Nope, it was a camera, to capture my ridiculous, soaking-wet style. Thanks a lot, mom!
Her words: “I figured you’d want to post a photo for all your blog friends to see.”
How well she knows me! (And, as it turns out, she did have a towel for me too. What a nice mommy.)
Question of the Day:
Have you ever gotten caught in a rainstorm? Or, have you ever been a victim of Murphy’s Law?
For some reason, it seems to rain a lot when I go to the grocery store and have many bags to carry out to the car! As for running in the rain, I kinda had fun yesterday. It cooled me off. At first, the rain was getting in my eyes, which was uncomfortable. But I figured out how to turn my head so it wasn’t a problem anymore. I felt pretty hardcore… until my dad told me he used to play soccer in thunderstorms all the time.
And if you think I look silly when soaking wet, you should see these guys! 🙂
This looks like SO much fun!!!!!!!!! If I didnt hate running I’d join you!!! 😛
Oh yeah, got caught in a thunderstorm riding my bike back from the repair shop! If there’s one thing to be grateful for when wearing spandex, it doesn’t feel any different soaking wet;)
That must have been quite a downpour! I love getting caught in the rain as long as I’m not heading to class or something. Summer rain is so refreshing after all the heat.
Hey, that’s not fair! I love rain but I almost never get caught in it!
Oh well … At least you got a shower 😀
I love running in the rain too! Especially in the summer- it’s been so hot lately that I look forward to rain!
Awe!! this looks like SO much fun!! YAY for puddle jumping!!!
Ahh I would have died! I am such a baby with rain I hate getting wet! I used to work at a vet and would hate to have to walk the dogs in the rain, I would wear a huge over-sized raincoat with the hood zipped all the way up even in like 100 degree weather! Your a ballsy girl!
Looks like a lot of rain – not fun. Just thought I would let you know this post does not seem to be showing up on your rss feed? Hope you have a great day!
Little Bookworm,
I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t know much about my RSS feed! Did it ever show up?
I love running in the rain, even when it pours. I’m usually all sweaty and gross anyway, lol. It rained buckets when I ran my first half-marathon and since that day I actually seek out rainy runs! 🙂
When Maman and I were on vacation, it started pouring absolute buckets when we stepped off of the metro. We were only a few blocks from the hotel, but naturally we left the umbrella in our room. It made for a fun afternoon though. 🙂
