Rainy Day Runs

I love rainy days. Have any of you read “The Umbrella Man” by Roald Dahl? He was my favorite author when I was in middle school. You should read it if you haven’t.

Rainy days make me feel like I’m not missing much while I’m at work. I can still enjoy how pretty it is from my window just as I would if I were home; I can’t do that with sunny days. I always long to be outside, to be anywhere but work when it’s sunny out. Rainy days just go by faster.

i LOVE spandex :p

The best part of rainy days for me is that running in the rain is the BEST. I run faster when I run in the rain because it makes me so happy! The other best part about my run today? The girl was already prepping salad stuff for dinner when I got back, so it came together super quickly. And the rain stopped so we got to eat outside together.

This salad was AMAZING. Seriously.

Rainy Day Salad

• Bunch of romaine lettuce
• Handful of baby bok choy
• Summer squash
• Carrots
• Tomato
• Green pepper
• Raisins
• Chili powder
• Hummus

Dressing:

• Olive oil
• Lemon juice
• Dried rosemary

I kept all the veggies raw. That’s how I like them best right now. The dressing was really simple, but it made this taste so nice and fresh!

I needed my protein too since this was post-run, so I fried some tempeh in a little olive oil and rosemary and ate it with ketchup. It was surprisingly delicious.

Question: How do you feel about rainy days?

I hope you all had a great Thursday, babes!
