Exciting run this morning, albeit too short! Awoke with a start a 6:15 and realized I was supposed to meet my running partner (who lives in the other side of town) 15 min. ago. Opps- turned off the alarm in my sleep in response to my husband's watch alarm going off... In a fog obviously- I was really off to a Monday-ish start!
Got ready as fast as I could, sped to our route and drove a little to see if I could find her, realizing what was supposed to be a 5/6 miler was already cut by 1/2 hr- I only had 1/2 hr left to run.
Luckily found Buff (this was my first time in yrs. meeting up w/ her to run, I'm sure she's thinking I'm quite reliable now). She was going a fast pace so I jumped in and suprisingly felt great! After about .5 mile the rain started, then the St. George flash flood! Good times! The street quickly flooded and the lighting was JUST overhead to the point I'd jump a little at each crack. We were getting soaking wet and loving it.
This was getting fun and not the expected mundane Monday morning run- yippee. Only wished it could have lasted longer. 2 miles in 19 min, 9:30 av. pace.
If the rain lets up I'll run 3 mi. tonight, since Sarah has inspired me to attempt 5 milers on a more regular basis! |
