today's weather almost gave me my first rain run. it had rained a lot overnight but by 5:30 am it was just cloudy and humid at 74 degrees. it did start to sprinkle as i was just finishing my run. this gave me a small taste of what a rain run will be as i stretched and did 25 freestanding squats; i love those.
it was raining on the drive into work and i saw two runners near the office having some fun but with a slight motivational struggle to keep going through the storm. (smile)
on the pain front, it was a good day. i had very little pain and ran at a good pace. i even pretended i was being chased and that made me run faster and loose track of my steady breathing. i ran into more cars than usual this early in the morning. i played like these were bad guys chasing me. then later, there were some cadets on campus running in formation. they were chanting something i could not make out but it sounded aggressive. so as they were running behind me, i pretended i was being chased by the police for running with my shirt off. as they got closer, i ran faster and they never caught me. they all had on black shorts and black t-shirts where i just had on black shorts. i was way cooler in the 94% humidity.
this run felt good overall. it was a bit playful and had a bit of adventure. i even went further than my goal but still finished before my cutoff time of 6:45 am. so i must still be making good progress.
