I did intervals! Aren't you proud? Actually, it took a lot of work to get out. This was the first real rainy run I did all year. I'd had a couple of them where it rained for part of a run, but never from beginning to end. I came to work prepared just in case, so it wasn't that big a deal, but boy was I soaked when it was over!
I also screwed up and forgot to start my Garmin in workout mode. I just pressed START and got going, realized about half a mile in, and stopped at one mile to set it up properly. I combined the runs in Sporttracks once it was all done.

On the way back in the front door, a guy was walking down the hall and asked, "In the rain, huh?" Well, yeah, just look at me! There was also a "challenge" on DailyMile, to run 5 miles and then express it in haiku. I wrote two haiku.
I run intervals
As rain falls, the air is cool
Shoes full of water
Back in the office
A man asks, "In the rain, huh?"
Mister obvious
