A bunch of us had a good time this morning running in the rain and bouncing through the puddles. Now, what to do with wet running shoes? It's important that they be dried out thoroughly and relatively quickly, but don't put them in the clothes dryer! Most shoes have a removable sock liner at the bottom, and they and the shoes will dry more quickly if you pull that out. After you loosen the laces, you then can stuff the shoes with some absorbent material to soak up the moisture. Old newspapers work fine, or you could use old towels or paper towels if you prefer. You may need to change the absorbent material as it gets soaked up, and finish up the drying process by putting the shoes in front of an electric fan or some other source of moving air--or you can put them out in the sunlight, whenever the sun reappears.
