Walking in the rain, just walking in the rain

Walking in the rain, just walking in the rain

It has been a mighty wet spring in Vancouver and we are still waiting for summer. It rains  a lot up here, and it has been record setting in the past  four weeks.  The rain doesn't slow down people from getting out there and being active. Unlike fair weather walkers in Reno (where I lived for many years) who don't go out because it's too hot, it's too cold, it's too windy, there's a raindrop, I see people out here being active unless it's raining sideways. When it rains, the walkers pop open their umbrellas and hit the trails. When it rains, the bikers put on ponchos and keep pedaling. When it rains, the kids are still out on the field for soccer practice and games. Rain is a part of life up here and physical activity doesn't stop because of it.  So as you look out at that beautiful, sunny summer day, decide to get out and take a walk or ride your bike without having  to locate rain gear.
