It rained the whole time I was running. It was a constant drizzle and I was running on a trail, so when I finished I was covered in mud and my shoes were filled with water and were also covered in mud. It wasn't as cold as yesterday and I was wearing a running raincoat, so I wasn't miserable. I also had a friend join me who runs at about the same pace as me. I've been doing the long runs by myself for the past several weeks and it was nice to finally have someone to run with. The pace average was 9:09/mi which was good for a muddy hilly trail. A few months ago I was running about that pace on the same trail for 8-10mi and it felt difficult. This trail is nice because it is two loops that join in the center and there is also cuttoffs so there are many different combinations of distances.
I wore my old shoes that I wear when it is raining. Also mizuno precisions that are a neon green color. I have no clue how many miles are on those. |
