Cold Rain

I mentioned that I had started running again. Today is the first day I can’t do my scheduled run because of weather.

Living in Southern Ontario means adapting to all sorts of wild weather swings. Usually it’s some variation on “cold and miserable,” sometimes “cold and wet,” and occasionally “freezing cold and snowing.” But cold is a pretty consistent contributor to the description of the weather.

But usually by late May, early June, the weather kind of hits a point of becoming less cold and becoming, I am told, “too warm.” I’m not sure I agree with that… I rarely, if ever, find it too warm for anything, but so I am told by those around me. The word “humid” also gets bandied about quite a bit, but again, that is a setting my personal body sensors just don’t have. I understand it theoretically, but in practice it just feels like nice “not cold.”

Lots of quotation marks in today’s post. Ah well!

The point is that right now it is raining and cold, and I can handle one of those things when I run (I’d rather deal with neither, but that’s just not the reality of where I live), but the two of them together means I’m not running today. Maybe if it stops raining and warms up a bit? But the forecast makes that out to be unlikely.

On the upside, this is fantastic weather to stay inside and edit! So that’s what I’m going to do!

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
