Out of the Chair and Into the Rain

So today ended my four day streak of not working out. I finally pulled my butt off of my desk chair, laced up my Asics, and headed into the rain for a four mile run with my friend and running partner, Rachel. She's a great person to run with because we're both about the same speed and she's willing to talk to me during the run. I feel that talking, even if it's difficult, during your runs makes them so much more enjoyable.

Anyways, because it is April in the midwest, it was raining during our run. It was a light, cooling rain for most of the run, but there were a few parts of it when it started to pour. By the time Rachel and I got back to the dorm we were soaked, head to foot. It felt good, though. Rain runs are truly the best! Here's what what we ran in:

In other news, I had a wonderful weekend. I went out for the first time this entire semester. It was a good time. My friends and I danced like crazy fools. I mean, they danced and I mostly bobbed and watched. I'm not really the going out type, although, I must admit that Saturday was more fun than I would have otherwise guessed. The theme of the party was "sundresses and slacks" so the girls and I dressed in our summer best (ok, not really, but we put on sundresses) and headed out into the cold for a fun night out.

The Girls and I in our Sundresses!! :)

And now that I've gotten my partying done for the semester, time to study for finals! Yuck!
