I was suppose to get up early and get my run done and then meet my usual group to golf at Hobble Creek Golf Course, but when I got up at 5:00 am it was raining pretty hard so I decided to for go the Golf and just sleep in! I then got up at 7:30 and strapped my running gear on and headed out the door. I ran the Payson Park loop extended which round trip is just over 8 miles, this route has some good rolling hills in it and so I pushed it up the hills and then took it easy on the downhills and the flat section. My average pace was 8:26 with my heart rate average at 138 and my total time was 1:07:50. I felt pretty good this morning other than I got a little sick of the rain, and I was a little disappointed that I didn't get my run done early and then head to the course and get my round in. I'm sure I will hear about that from the Boys!

With that said, I will see you tomorrow.

Good job on the run. Sounds like you've become more of a runner than a golfer if you're willing for forego the golf round for an 8-mile run in the rain. Runners are a crazy lot I tell ya!
