Of course it rained

As soon as we left it began to pour. Maybe we could've made it up the mountain, semi-protected from the brunt of the rain by the trees, but we would've faced a landslide coming back. Instead we did sit-ups and push-ups (well maybe push-up would be closer) under the eaves of the cafeteria, defying stares by the arriving workmen. When the rain eased we went for a run through the neighbourhood. When we got back I couldn't tell sweat from rain. I had a shower and checked my email, but it was still not eight o'clock. With nothing to do for five more hours, I sunk into my body's impulses and slunk back to bed until eleven.
