Strange run today. It was raining (THAT isn't unusual/strange in the least bit) but a pretty warm 53 degrees so I left the house in t-shirt and shorts. I ran into Lake Oswego via Boones Ferry Rd and then looped back toward I-5 on Kruze Way. Along the way, near mile 5 and the business offices in Lake O, I ran past a brand new 10 dollar bill floating in a puddle. Score! Them rich folk must be throwing money away?! Lake Oswego is to Portland what Park City is to Salt Lake. I made my way past the temple and TJ's and by this point my chest (ie nipples) were killing! The combination of constant rain, loose shirt and long run was causing some serious chaffing. Seeing how the rain wasn't stopping anytime soon and I still had 8 miles to go, I ditched my shirt for the remainder of the run. For some reason it was a warm-ish 53 degrees so it wasn't bad at all. I can't remember the last time I ran in mid-January with no shirt. I love living then the NW. The last eventful occurrence was nearly getting run over by a lady who drove through a red light near Burgerville in Tigard as I was crossing in the crosswalk. I was pretty fired up about nearly getting clipped so I chased her down, hoping she would get caught at a red light but to no avail. Interesting day to say the least.
