Fall Has Arrived

Today was the first wet, rainy day since the end of summer and I loved it! It brought back so many memories of growing up in Seattle. I went to the gym for about an hour and when I was walking back to my car, flashbacks of my youth began to flood my mind. I used to love playing soccer in the pouring rain even when mud covered my body and I could barely move my fingers. I remember the smell right after it rained. It was so fresh and clean. I love to hear the sound of a car driving by on a wet road; music to my ears.

Even though I was extremely tired from my workout, I grabbed my windbreaker, a hat, and Khloe and went out for a run in the rain. I didn't even bring my iPod because I wanted to be able to hear all of the sounds I miss so much. Poor little Khloe ran two miles with me and was sopping wet.

I can barely walk up the stairs, but having a little piece of "home" today was worth it. It may have been 55 degrees and rainy, but to me, it felt like I was running in paradise.
