Rain, Rain, GO AWAY! I Wanted to Ride My Bike Today!

Well... it's raining... again... for the I'm not sure how many days in a row now (but it's been quite a few). I was hoping to sneak in a short ride on my bike, since it's been since early last week that I actually got on it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to manage it. I may just say "screw you Rain" and go for a quick ride, but I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to riding in the rain and hate cleaning my bike afterwards. I also should probably go to the gym to run for a bit, because I think I'm going to do another 5k on Saturday (this time it's for the Dayton International Peace Museum). If I do the 5k, I'm going to see how much I can actually run in it, and hopefully improve a lot on my time from the last time (which shouldn't be hard, since I didn't run at all). I think my goal for the end of the summer is going to be to be able to run an entire 5k, and hopefully be able to run even more than that. My friends and I are planning on doing the Columbus Marathon in October, though I don't know if I'll attempt the half or full quite yet. Of course I'm not expecting to be able to run an entire marathon by October, but I think it would be cool to be able to walk/run an entire one by then. It's going to take a lot of work, but I would like to have a big challenge to shoot for, since I had Bike & Build last year, I need something cool this year. My friend Kelly also joked that she wants to be able to have one of those "26.2" stickers for her car. I'm not too concerned about that, though I would totally still get one just because. Another tattoo might also be in order if I ever run an entire marathon, just because that is a pretty big accomplishment. It would go well with my future plans of a Bike & Build tattoo. Well... it appears to have stopped raining now... and the sun is even making an appearance finally. I think this might be my chance to get a quick ride in, so I better go and take a quick ride around the block and hit the gym I suppose. Ride on!
