For the beginner, a rainy day is an excuse to skip the daily run.
For the intermediate, a rainy day is a sign that it is time to practice running in the rain.
⚙️ 对迂腐的孩子，下雨天就是有雷击危险时不要出门的提醒。
Today, I am a beginner. The thunder stopped by 7AM, but the rain has continued through midday. And I am still not running. A certain amount of fatigue in the legs, pain in the foot, and "digestive issues" led me to skip any jog.
⚔️ well, actually, the "digestive issues" were "ate way too many wonton chips at 10PM last night". Stupidity is different from an underlying health issue.

The topic of shoelaces is one where Wikipedia's coverage does not meet even the bare minimum standard of completeness or quality.
Fortunately, there are other websites that can explain the "runner's loop":
When your heel isn’t held firmly, your foot can slip forward and bump your toes against the front of your shoes. Your fix is the runner’s loop:
Lace your shoes normally, crisscrossing them until you reach the second eyelet below the top on each side.
Instead of crossing over again, pull each lace end up on the same side, inserting it into the top eyelet on that side; you’ll form a loop.
Pull each lace end across and through the loop formed on the opposite side of the shoe.
Pull the lace ends up and out a few times in order to shrink down the loops so that they hold the lace securely on each side.
Finish by tying your shoelaces in the usual way.
Many shoe designs are built specifically to allow for the runner’s loop: They provide extra length in the laces and specific alignment of the last eyelets to give you the option of tying it.
