Wearing a thin yellow t-shirt for my afternoon jog seemed like a good idea considering the heat, until about 10 minutes later when the sun dissappeared behind swirling black clouds, and I was pelted with rain and hail pellets.  Why is rain so much worse when you are running up a hill?  As I was headed down the Temple hill, I realized my yellow shirt was soaked by the look drivers gave me from the insides of their cars.  A lady pulled over to ask if I needed a ride.  I said no because I was enjoying the weather, but quickly realized I'd soon be running in front of the high school at lunchtime with my shirt soaking wet, polluting their fresh minds with an X-Ray vision of my middle aged, saggy bouncing flesh.  I miss the river trail.  At the very least, anyone on the trail to see you would have been wet too.  9:45/11:00 9:45/10:10

Oh my, I'm sorry Luz! There really are some nice benefits to the parkway. I'm sure those high-schoolers wouldn't have been out in the rain, so I'm sure you're okay :)
