I made the mistake of not taking the big dark clouds seriously this morning and boy did I pay for it.  The heavens opened up at mile 4 of a 10 mile run and didn't let up.  I was frozen and miserable.  In shorts and a short sleeve shirt.  Not that would have made any difference as I was soaked through in minutes.  The icing on the cake was the short section of barbed wire I somehow got wrapped around my leg taking a good chunk out of the skin behind my knee.  Man that sure stung from all that dirty road water "washing" it out as I ran home.   What a morning...  time to start checking the weather a bit closer and probably time to take my headlamp so I can see the trail (and barbed wire) more clearly.

Exhausted from the excess hours and stress from work.  So no morning run.  The workday was cut short to only 10 hours today so I had time to take the kids in the stroller to Ryan's Place Park and spend a half hour playing before dark.

17 FLAT miles on the South Platte River Trail.  I haven't run a run this flat on a Saturday for at least 6 months.  So, instead of hills I focused on speed and maintaining a good tempo.  An hour for the 8.5 miles out and 57:25 for the return trip.  It might have been a bit faster but I didn't carry water and man was I thirsty.  I started to worry for the last 5 miles.  Not good.
