They say that it is a woman's prerogative to change her mind and I must have changed mine a 100 time on my run today.  I wanted to run 10 easy miles.  I thought I would do a 5 mile loop around my house twice.  That way I wouldn't have to carry water.  At the turn around point I was afraid that if I got home I wouldn't go out again so I changed my mind and kept going.  One mile past the turn around I wished I had some water.  At 4.25 miles it started to rain, St. George 2008 rain.  I then changed my mind again and started to head home.  I was no longer thirsty, how can getting wet on the outside make you not feel thirsty on the inside? I was getting so wet hoped that a neighbor would see me and ask if I wanted a ride home.  Unfortunately all my neighbors if they saw me would probably just think "there's crazy Kathie out running in the rain".  I am warm and dry now and I think I will try and do the last 1.5 on the treadmill tonight although my night is pretty busy and it may not happen.

You crack me up! Rain stops my thirst too but also makes me want to pee!

You're cranking up some miles and serious pace. How's the shinny shin shin doing!
