Only ran approximately 8 miles today due to terrible weather. It rained drops the size of golf balls all day. I guess this would not be so bad if it was warm, but I was unlucky in this department too. It was just under 40 degrees (F) when I left to go, which might not seem cold, but when you are drenched and wearing those mini running shorts that provide no sort of insulation, it is frigid. Knowing that I would not be able to go too far or too long, I decided to make my time count. I ran with some good pace (6:10 min mile for 5 miles, ran a very steady but long uphill (one mile) at 7:00 min pace and then cranked through a downhill at 5:30 pace for just over two miles). In all, a bit dissapointed that I didn't have the ability to go for something a bit longer, but sometimes you do what you got to do. |
