8 miles in the rain.  I love this training.

I had a good strength training workout yesterday and recovered from the tough brick on Monday.  Then this morning was rainy and drippy and soggy and while I could have switched up the schedule and hit the pool today, but it’s supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday, so what’s the difference?!?!  The wind was up too, so I went straight down DeJarnette to have a crosswind both ways. 

The rain was manageable, the wind was manageable, even the mileage was manageable.  The most challenging part of today’s run were the passing cars, spraying the yummy mix of water, oil, street grime all up in my grill…

The time was 44 out, but 47 back, but I wasn’t surprised at the positive split time, because of the rain and the distance.  I’ve got to really concentrate on heading out slowly in order to get a negative.

Good training day, good nutrition, good recovery, good mood….12 weeks down, 6 to go…
