Thanks to Hurricane Erin, we’re getting some showers and wind today. It’s not often we’re affected in St. Louis by hurricanes, but this one traveled right up the midwest and is dying out as it’s pushing through our area. It was much cooler and overcast all day. I ran right after work, and it was pretty windy, enough to make me wonder if it was slowing down my run. About a mile into the run, it started raining, and it was off and on the rest of the way. Nothing too hard, nothing too stormy…just a nice wet rain. Felt great, actually. I don’t mind running in the rain. I just don’t want my mp3 player to short out on me.
Conditions: 82 degrees, rain.
Results: today: 3 miles; shoe miles: 50; time: 30:43; pace: 10:14
Thoughts: Glad I wore my running gear that whisks away water! Wearing cotton today would’ve slowed me down from weighing so much!
What I’ll remember the most: Trying to wear my sunglasses to protect my eyes from the rain.
