I woke up this morning to thunderstorms, rain and lightning. I was supposed to run in an 8k race but didn't know if they would have it because of the lightning. I didn't want to drive the 30 minutes then find out it was cancelled or sit around if it was delayed so I bagged the race. I waited until the storms blew through so I didn't get out until around lunch time. It was warm (79) and the humidity was up. Also, there was about a 20 to 30 mph wind. I ran easy today and again my legs felt tired and sluggish. This time, however, I started to feel better as I went along. Even though I ran the last half of the run into the wind I was able to pick up the pace. I hope this is a good sign going forward. I really wanted to run the race to see where I am at so I will try to get into another sometime in the next couple of weeks.
