Let's see, 48 degrees, raining, windy, I got up at 5:30 a.m. to go to work, and I feel like garbage. So what do I do this afternoon? I go for my longest run since Memphis -- 12.4 miles.
Started out slowly, picked up the pace as I got going and the rain came down harder. Stopped in the middle for Powerade and to get rid of the cotton t-shirt I stupidly put on under my tech shirt, then went back out. My pace before the break was 9:19. After the break must have been sub-9, because I finished at 9:06 overall. Even better I discovered that the track pants I thought were waterproof aren't, so I was carrying around a little extra weight for the last 3-4 miles. Now I'm REALLY beat. |
