Rainy Day Walking

Yesterday we walked 15.5 miles in the POURING RAIN with Vancouver Fit, which certainly brought back memories of the Portland Marathon last year! I walk a lot and I have walked in the rain many, many times but luckily downpours like yesterday's don't happen all that often and this was my first for the year.  Once again, like last October, I was drenched to the bone!  I now have a wonderful rain jacket and it would have kept my upper body dry but my shorts were so wet that the water wicked up and soaked my shirt!  My feet were sloshing in my shoes after only a mile.  We walked through "rivers" and "lakes" the entire time.  Unbelievably though, even with the torrential downpour, it was a very enjoyable walk!  We took our time, chatted a lot and stopped for bathroom breaks whenever we wanted.  No rush, no worries, and NO timer!
