Natural High - Walking In The Rain

I got to experience this first-hand, as I was out walking with a few friends Sunday night. We were brisk-walking around the village, when it suddenly started pouring. I never thought that it would be rejuvenating and exhilarating to be walking in the rain. You don't feel tired at all. You don't feel thirsty of course, but that's beside the point. One of my friends commented that he felt wide-eyed and bushy tailed after walking ergo, a sudden rush of energy. Another friend told me that it did not feel like walking at all...it was more like doing laps in a pool. Yet another friend felt ashamed to be walking in bad weather, because it made her feel like she was in a wet t-shirt contest. Whatever the case may be, it all adds up to an amazing experience money can't buy.
