running in rain

15° celsius. cloudy and rainy. 19:05 (0:51:32)

i've decided today to run with another group of runners. we met at the school's courtyard, where i played badminton in the hall. in fact, i stopped my badminton play just for the sake of running. i would continue to play after the run.

after the formalities of getting to know each other, we ran down towards the alster and ran clockwise. the leader of the pack told me that i was a bit overdressed - long tight pants with jacket and a cap. i told him that i relied entirely from weather. it was already dark due to the dark clouds hovering in the sky. we stopped at the krugköppel bridge to do some warm-up stretching (i didn't know why, but i hate doing warm-ups between runs). after the short interval, we continued our run. it started to drizzle and then rained heavily. the normally heavily frequented alster by joggers was suddenly 'empty' apart from the few hardcore runners. lucky for me that i wasn't being entirely wet and cold, thanks to my jacket and cap.

it rained all the way till we reached back to the school courtyard and i was happy that i've brought extra clothes for my badminton and running. i was indeed not overdressed for the run!
