6.5 miles in the morning. 9 miles in the early evening.
I was up trying to get everything ready for school starting today. I don't feel to ready. It is weird to think the kids are already back. The pace was right around 7:20/mile this morning. Another nice, relaxed run. I got home from the first day of school at around 5:30 and went out for my run. Yes, I survived the first day! I did my run up along the mountain going towards North Ogden. The black clouds were coming but it wasn't to bad at first. I wasn't pushing the pace by any means but did average 6:36/mile pace for the first 4.5 miles. As soon as I turned around I had to really kick it into gear. I did not want to go very fast today but that changed quick. I heard thunder and saw lightning. I also got drenched with huge balls of rain. It almost felt like hail. I did the last 4 miles at 5:41, 5:37, 5:29, and 5:27/mile pace. I am sure people driving in their cars looked at me and thought what a idiot. You gotta run no matter what the weather is like! The lightning did make me a little nervous though.
