8:30 pm. There are only a couple of times a year where an opportunity like last night presents itself. The clouds were blowing in from the south, threatening, just as we finished helping a neighbor load the U-haul. I came home with my son, checked the baseball scores, and the rain started, intensified, and persisted. After wasting 10 minutes of the hardest downpour, I got into an older pair of shoes, and headed out. By 3 miles, the rain stopped, but it picked up again in earnest for the final mile. Great run.
Marathon training plan for the next three weeks:
8, 9, 8, 20 (find some downhill)
8, 9, 8, 9, 14 (find some downhill)
8, 9, 8, 9, 20 (try to finish fast)
That should get me to a taper window.
