Dedication, Insanity, or Just a good run?

Saturday morning was our planned long run for the week. Unfortunately the weather decided to not give us a beautiful fall day but instead provided a 50 degree rainy day. Thus the title of the post - was I dedicated to get up and run 12 miles in the rain, was I insane or was it just a good run that needed to be taken?

I have been thinking about perspective lately. Short run versus long run - really its what you are training for. The good news is that no matter what the run, they are all good. Good weather versus bad weather - I was sweating by the first mile anyway so whats a little rain. My best runs have all been in the rain so.... I needed to get my run in and I made the 12 miles and was still functioning when I got home so in my book it was just a good run that needed to be taken. (please don't ask my wife - its the insanity answer in case you were wondering.)

On a separate note: we are in Christmas mode here at home. The kids and I decorated the tree last night while my wife decorated the mantle. I worked on the front yard this afternoon and hope to have most of it done by Tuesday or Wednesday. If I can figure out how to take, save, and upload pictures, I will post a few.
