Running in the Rain

I think I am a real Oregon runner. I went out running today in the POURING rain and loved it. After completing the 5K in a little more than 30 minutes, I looked like I took a shower with all my clothes on.

Of course, though, an hour after my run, it is nice and sunny outside.

Here I am sopping wet with my bandanna keeping my pink ear buds in place & my running shirt.





This is my super bright running jacket to keep me warm and visible. I was not into cars hitting me today.

I also had my weatherproof mp3/electronics holder.











I love my Wrist Runner because it a reflective band along with a zippered pouch where I can store my key, ID, and other info.

What Do I Do?

I am up and running again...or I thought I was.

I woke up and ran three miles and then walked a mile to work. My ankle is bothering me a lot again. The anterior tibia has tendinitis and it feels like I got hit with a baseball bat. I didn't roll my ankle or anything; it just started hurting.

This is so frustrating. How am I supposed to progress if I keep having ankle problems? A physical therapist said I need to stretch my whole leg more, get a running coach, and/or do PT. Where do I find a running coach.

I am going to check out my old university. I've earned free classes there--maybe I can find myself a running coach there.
