This wasn't a night of any crazy experiences of training. It was mainly just to get myself moving and get the blood pumping. This is the kind of night when the clouds are warm and a nice 54 degrees. This was by far like the perfect weather to run in. I don't need to worry about being to cold nor do I have to worry about overheating. A part of me still wanted to downpour and the cold. It just seems to add that bit of excitement.
Tonight I am doing my foam roller. This is the best way to stretch all the muscle, even the ones you forget you using. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/flexibilityandstretching/ss/FoamRoller.htm is a link to a website with a few foam roller stretches that I have done myself and a few i plan on trying out. Next time you go to the gym give it a go. When you are going over the most painful spots thats where you want to focus on because it is a tight muscle group.

Singing in the RAIN!
So if you live in Portland you would know how much it rained today. While most Oregonians dislike when it rains this much I must say it was refreshing. Why shower when it feels you got soaked while running? It was the kinda of day when you no longer know part of you became soaked with rain or sweat. This is the kind of rain the just makes the song "Singing in the Rain" by Gene Kelly rings through my head. It made me want to sing and dance. Well if you count running as dance, you could say I was dancing. I may not be the most graceful of running dancers but I am sure i enjoy it more than most.
I had a very tough work out I did 200's, 800's and of course my dynamic warm up. I never feel over-heated in this weather, that's for sure. During my 800's, I couldn't look out at the dark of the track because the rain was hitting me in the eyes. Sometimes I think of it as a challenge by the rain to see if it can get me to stop. This just makes me want to run faster and faster! I slowly was down to my shorts and my tee shirt I was pushing through the wall of rain. It would not be stopping this Portlander today.
