The bay area has been experiencing a deluge of rain as of late. For the last three weeks rain has come down and I LOVE IT! If there is one thing I miss, it's rain. I always laugh a little inside when I see people running from away from the rain trying to get from one dry place to another. I love just taking my time and strolling about. It is only water. If it's still raining tomorrow, I might go for a run in the rain. Yay!

One thing I've noticed about my running lately is that I've become much faster. The other day I did a little over 4 miles in 30 minutes, so I'm running about an average of 8mph. I remember when I first started running to lose weight, I could barely run for a tenth of a mile before I had to stop and walk for a bit. A few friends of mine are doing this. There's a team event, where they can compete at different levels. We're trying for the Olympic level. I can do the run, and there's a person I know who can do the bike. I just need to find someone to do the swim. I've heard it's like a big party down there. I can't wait! Hopefully by the time May rolls around I can a 10k in a half-hour. Whee!

I never thought a few years ago, that I could do half the stuff I'm physically capable of now. I'm really proud. I should really learn how to swim better though.

I'm happy.
