Weather - 74 degrees, hard rain. A hard rain fell this morning but that did not stop me from getting in my easy run. I ran through the flooded streets and the woods path was flowing like a creek, where I saw a box turtle enjoying itself, and a little further down the path a lone goose was standing still in the 2 inch deep water. I was reminded of a run this past winter, when the rain was freezing and I was wearing shorts. That run toughened me up, and made today's run seem very pleasant in comparison. My legs were not sore from yesterdays long run. I took a hot bath after because I was covered in mud. Knowing that the warm water would exaggerate any inflammation in my quads, I took a bottle of ice and rolled it over my thighs for 15 minutes after the bath, I think this helped reduce any soreness which may have occurred today. I also slept well last night, about 10 hours, and my allergies did not bother me. After the run I did 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #303
