10.46 in 1:30:55 , average pace 8:42
Light ran this morning, actually alternating between light rain and no rain. Headed out just after 6:00 with Jenny and a group of her friends. We ran into a couple more people that we know. But shortly after that, everyone decided to turn back early because it looked like there was some heavy stuff on the radar. I was going to turn back, too. Jenny said why? you usually don't mind running in the rain. I usually don't but there have been a few times when I wished I hadn't but if it stays nice and light. So, when we got to where everyone else was splitting off to go home, I kept on going and decided I'd turn back (or seek shelter) if it got really bad. It never did get bad. I headed a couple neighborhoods over, where I don't run much anymore. I saw my friend Raj out running. He was out doing a quick loop from the Y before lifting weights. I talked him into joining me. We talked and caught up on things. It was a bit of luck to run into him like that. Kept the pace easy and relaxed. I had only been planning on about 6 or 7 miles this morning but ended up with a little over 10. So, take it when you can get it. It's nice when you run and it feels good, feels so good that you run more than you planned to run just because.
