Rain.

What a perfect day to talk about rain! From the many things nature does to the environment, rain is one of my favorites. Why? I love the rain because its so refreshing and peaceful. I enjoy the feeling of the mist in my skin gradually getting thicker. Most of all, I enjoy getting wet!

I remember from childhood, all of the kids in my neighborhood use to come out after the rain stopped to jump in the puddles. We sometimes used to have water fights, where we grabbed the water from the puddle and dumped it on someone. After our parents saw what we were doing, they told us not to do it anymore because it was dirty water. We sometimes did it anyways. We loved getting wet!

Now, I hardly play in the rain, partly because its not as fun doing it alone. I do like running in the rain though. Running on a fall/winter day is cool because you don't really sweat! It is also relaxing because you dont feel tired. Your body warms up when you exercise, so when its cold, you still feel warm inside, no matter how cold it is.

As I sit in the computer lab, I can see the wind blowing the fresh, moisty, windy air, telling us its almost winter time. I got myself my comfy hoodie and my warm boots to enjoy the first rain of the season.

Oxnard has been known to have the perfect weather all year long, and today, its just so very perfect.

[[ im so looking forward to running today :) ]]
