11:12/10:03/8:57/9:08/11:08/10:51/8:40/10:38/9:20  Can you guess which miles were uphill miles?  I have to run up so many hills around here that it's been hard to know what my true AP is.  Also, I did not intend to run 9 1/2 miles tonight.  I did this run last Wednesday and because my Garmin shut off and on during the run it counted it as 8.5 . Tonight it rained so hard and got dark so fast I never looked at my Garmin until I came home. The AP was 9:58, but it was a hard, downpour on many miles of up hill.  I'm not sad about it.  I love running in the rain, it makes me feel like such a champion.

I love you guys! Truth is, I probably couldn't have run much faster if it was flat and during the best part of the day. But I do like knowing that I ran an extra mile and a half in the rain and it felt just the same as what I'd expect 8 to feel like....
