There's dedication, and then there's just plain insanity

I was in Red Deer today and the weather was just miserable. Raining, cold, wet, windy... just UGH. But I kept noticing all these people, dressed in their black spandex running pants, jogging together in packs of three or more. JOGGING. In the rain.

And it wasn't just one group of runners, or two. No, I must have seen about six or seven of these groups of 'dedicated' runners, just slogging along in the cold and wet. And not just in one part of Red Deer; I saw them in Bower, over by Michener, downtown.

I'm thinking there must be a biathlon coming up and these crazies are participants, or maybe part of a running group? But I mean, c'mon: there's dedication and then there's obsession.

INSANITY is what I call it.

I'll take my home workouts over that any day.
