“Rainy days are for long trail runs,” I tell my coworkers. Most of them give me funny looks. “No really, running in the rain is freaking awesome!,” I say. They roll their eyes and ignore me. They don’t understand. Why, after all would you go out and get all wet and cold? I love running… Read More ›
