The other 5 percent of the time

The problem with the weather in California is that 95% of the time, it's great for working out. So unlike planning a week of workouts in Minnesota or Wisconsin based on forecasted wind speed and wind chill or heat and humidity and adjusting when I can work out outdoors or when I need to plan to be inside, I simply assume here that it's going to be nice outside.

And 95% of the time, that ignorance of the weather forecast works. The other 5% of time I get stuck running in the rain. I biked using the trainer yesterday because it was dark and raining. Yet I didn't connect that experience to the likelihood that it might be raining today, too. I planned on a run and didn't wake up early enough to run at the gym, and thus had to crank out a soggy 40-minute run. Boo.
