I'm finding it's not the rain that bothers me so much, but I'm an absolute wimp in the wind.

Hubby and I set out this morning for the Alameda Creek trail and Coyote Hills, and it was drizzling. Not too bad, but then we turned a corner along one of the hills and ran face first into cooold wind, yech.

I met a new nemesis today too - there's a trail I never tried in the Coyote Hills called the Meadowlark Trail, which is a paved, fairly steep (to me, anyhow) uphill grade which goes for about 0.5 mile - Mt. Diablo it ain't. But still, I only made it maybe 1/2 of the way up that sucker today Something to work on.
