\"During<\/a><\/p>\n

Wednesday nights are my night to go running after work. I have a little routine. I leave work and go to a liquor store and pick up some craft beer and then I head out either to the Arkansas River trails or Turkey Mountain<\/a>. Last Wednesday it started a downpour just as I was leaving downtown but my good ole Accuweather<\/a> app on the phone said it was not going to rain for at least two hours so I’m good right?<\/p>\n

So started out on the Yellow Trail taking pics with my Ipod Touch using the Hipstamatic<\/a> App. I just love blurry photos. My intention was to try and do six miles or so.<\/p>\n

This is my favorite spot on the Yellow Trail. I just tell people to follow the arrow. Nobody listens to me but I say it anyway. I repeat myself a lot that way.<\/p>\n

This is my favorite new landmark on the Yellow Trail. It reminds me of something new I’m reading a little about lately Trail Marker Trees<\/a>. \u00a0Trees that Native Americans shaped as trail markers or other uses. Check the link. I’d love to see a few live. I’m a little skeptical about them personally.<\/p>\n

I stopped a smelled a few roses. Metaphorically.<\/p>\n

Just as I got to the north end of the Yellow Trail it started raining, hard. I put away my Ipod and got out my waterproof Nikon. People tell me about how much they love raining in the rain. I don’t like it too much but if you are out in it and wearing tech clothes then it is not so bad. I decided to cut my run short and run the upper Yellow trail back.<\/p>\n

The mud sticks to your shoes and things get a lot slipperier but I eventually got back to my car.<\/p>\n

The only thing worse than running in the rain would be riding a bike. The thunder and lightening was getting pretty bad also. That can ruin your whole day.<\/p>\n
