I know it's been awhile since my last blog but I've been busy!!! SPCA fundraisers, catching up with friends, watching movies with the boyfriend, work..... the list could really go on. Oh, and my new found hobby: running in the rain. God I love it!!!! Once you surrender yourself to the fact that you're going to get wet, it's an amazing experience. Running itself is such a release of stress or any negative thoughts, that paired up with the rain, it's fantastic. It feels like the rain washes it all away.
Last night I got Rob to drop me off on the way home at E. Hastings/Clark. This neighbourhood is, well, a mixture of unique and sketchy, if you stay on Clark. But if you run through Strathcona, you've entered such an amazing hidden treasure of a neighbourhood in Vancouver. The city has done sooooo much at improving this hood and I love running through there. Anyway, I made my way to Science World and I felt as though I hadn't ran far enough so off I went along the seawall into Yaletown, then back up and over the Cambie Street Bridge. By the time I got home I was soaking wet from head to toe and a bit cold because I ran into a neighbour and we stood and bitched about our strata for a bit.
The second best thing about running in the rain, besides it washing away ickyness, is climbing into a hot bath with bubbles. I'm currently addicted to the show Being Erica and you can watch all the episodes off of the CBC website. Once click and you're off!!! So I set my laptop up on top of the toilet, climbed into my bath and watched an episode. I have to say, that's some pretty good therapy!!!!!
So if you ever decide to give it a whirl, either walk or run in the rain, do so then finish it off with a hot bath. I promise you won't be disappointed.
