Recovery run. 5:13 am, 44° F, 87% humidity, winds calm, light mist followed by light rain. Well, this was my first sub-6 am run since April 15. I'm having to get back into the sub-6 club for the next several weeks, though I would prefer not to, as cool as it is. The flip side of this two-hard-day-in-a-row pattern that I've got for the next few weeks is that I've also got two recovery days in a row, such as yesterday and today. I need to be well rested up for Friday and Saturday this week. I'm a little anxious about doing a tempo run tomorrow after my crash and burn on my tempo run last week. Tomorrow's actually supposed to be a tune-up race, but there's no race to go to, so I'm going to do a tempo run instead. The ground was wet when I went outside this morning, but it wasn't raining. However, there was a light mist in the air, enough to make my glasses wet. Around the end of the 4th mile, I realized that it was raining lightly. That continued for the rest of my run, but had stopped by the time I drove to seminary shortly thereafter. I was pretty wet, but not soaked, by the time I finished the run. AP: 10:16. Splits: 10:41, 10:22, 10:14, 10:11, 9:52.
