jaunthieIt was raining lightly on my walk home last night - just enough to be pleasant, not enough to soak my jeans and jacket. It was raining enough that I had my hood up to protect my glasses, though.
The good things about hoods:
The only drawback to hoods that I've found is that they cut down on your peripheral vision, a definite liability when walking in the city. You really have to pay extra careful attention and keep scanning back and forth. So the walk home wasn't quite as relaxing as it could have been, but hey, it counts. Between that walk and the morning walk with GPSMan (wherein he gleefully demonstrated that he can kick my butt going uphill), I got 4.35 miles in for the day. It feels kind of weird, only walking such short distances - but that's what a rest week is all about.
Oh, okay, one other drawback about hoods: you look like a dork if you wear them indoors.
The good things about hoods:
- They're lightweight.
- They're already attached to jackets, so I can't forget them at home (a definite advantage over brollys).
- They make the wearer feel vaguely mysterious and cool (or this wearer, anyway).
- As mentioned above, they keep the rain off of my glasses.
