Sprinkler Running

When I lived in the drought-prone Denver, CO, I would sometimes run at night. From the shadows of the sidewalk ahead, I’d hear a familiar pattering sound on the pavement. SPRINKLERS. Without seeing the spray, I’d try to judge by ear when it was safe to run past the sprinklers, often guessing wrong and getting drenched in the process, but also getting hit with a blast of playful energy at the same time.

Running through the sprinklers is one of summer’s small joys. How do you run through them?
