My favorite part: I got lost. I got muddy. It was a real hoot, just like the owl who made a surprise appearance at the exact moment when I started feeling sorry for myself.
I still remember the first time I tried running in the rain. I was living in San Francisco at the time. I went out and the rain was light but started to pick up. The two worst parts of it were: 1) my shoes got water-logged, which made them super heavy, and 2) my ears got cold.
Somehow, cold ears is my biggest discomfort issue in the cold. I have a shaved head, but if I have a Buff or Gaiter that covers my ears but leaves the top of my head exposed, I'm fine with it. But if the top of my head is covered and my ears are exposed, it's bad news.
I recall some previous food-related articles, but was curious: what are some non-processed proteins you mix in when you're doing every hour on the hour fueling? I get having bowls for meals, but I assume you're not eating a bowl ever hour .... right?
Good question. I typically make a big salad for lunch with greens, veggies, quinoa, tofu, cheese, maybe some pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds. And then for dinner, it's all of the above but with a rice base instead of greens.
As a mostly vegetarian, it's hard to get non processed protein. So, here are my go-tos
Eggs and dairy: Cheese, yogurt, etc.
Fish: Baked cod, shrimp, salmon etc. (Maybe once a week, if that)
Tofu: Plain block has about 42 grams of protein. Throw it in a skillet with seasoning and it'll work with just about anything.
OWYN Protein smoothies: 20 g of protein for 170 calories. Quick and convenient.
OWYN protein powder: I put a scoop on everything from oats to yogurt and whip up a quicky protein smoothie with milk.
Clif builder bars: 20 G of protein for 300 calories. It's a big freaking bar, but great in a pinch.

Seriously, it sounds like so much fun! I don't get much into that as a road runner, but once in a while I'll get outside in a light rain and enjoy it.
I did that yesterday. It was lovely. Enough to be nice but not enough to soak my shoes.

Like Avery says about running in nature: This is all you got, and it's really all you need.
