It is still raining outside. The last thing that I wanted to do was to waste my energy in the house all day. I had to think quick and find something to do! Something, fun. Something that would give me the notion of being out and about. I thought long and hard and remembered that we learned about pioneers who lived in the wilderness and got the fever to create my own wilderness. I grabbed my rainjacket and decided to go out into my "wilderness" we call rain and began running. I had a lot on my mind so I felt this was the perfect time to get it out. I ran in the rain. Even though it was raining, it was a perfect day for a run. I was able to clear my head and be positive about my situation. I turned on my i-pod and began jogging at a brisk pace through my neighborhood. I was really enjoying running to the beat of one of my favorite songs when I realized I was being followed. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck begin to stand up. I did not know whether to keep running or freeze in place hoping what was behind me would go away. Suddenly, it began raining again. Thankfully, the dog that had been following me turned around and bolted to take cover in his dog house.
