We got some nice rain tonight.  So nice that I just had to go running in it.  My Ragnar captain and I ran my usual 5 loop.  It didn't take long for us to get soaked to the bone.  One guy called us crazy.  We are crazy.  Crazy for running.

Time - 50:29 (avg. pace 9:17)

Splits - 9:20, 9:09, 9:12, 9:18, 9:18, 4:14 for 0.44 (9:41 pace)

Hey, I ran in the rain tongight, too!!! Now I'm cold and want to soak in a hot bath.

Are you at work right now? They won't mind.

From DonGardinero on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 03:42:23 from 68.26.26.143

They didn't mind at all. I'm actually on my first day of a 13 day vacation. I'm going to sleep in!!!

Great job getting soaked!

From PRE on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 19:32:38 from 99.50.214.225

Your Ragnar Captain: Is this from the previous Ragnar...or are you doing another one?

Serious mileage Monday. As today is Thursday, the burns are probably close to healing at this point.

From PRE on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 19:35:51 from 99.50.214.225

By the way.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Little early. Didn't want to forget.

Did you sing too?

From Burt on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 21:01:47 from 72.223.84.236

April - I'm always stoked to get soaked.

PRE - I will be doing my 8th Ragnar in Feb. Burns are gone. Merry Christmas back atchya.

Melodious - I didn't sing, but I should have sung a hymn for you.

From DonGardinero on Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 21:12:02 from 68.26.26.143

Merry Christmas, Burt, just in case you don't post anything tomorrow.

Tell them you're not crazy...you're just bored :)

From Rhett on Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 12:37:40 from 216.67.218.76

I think you Ragnar Captain, if he truly is a Captain, should dress like Captain Underpants on his next run with you.

Merry Christmas Burt.
