Rainy 10-miler

Happy Father's Day.

Out the door at 05:20 for the Strider long run at Cullen Park. The first five minutes of running was under heavy rain. After the initial downpour the rain backed off and made for a beautiful morning run. I like running in the rain, so no discouraging words from me about the wet stuff.

I settled into a comfortable run at the 4-mile mark (a little longer than usual). At the turn around point I sensed I was running too fast for a long run. I bumped my pace down and let my legs have a small break. The initial pace took its toll after the 8.5 mile mark. Either way, I'm excited to log 10 wet, long, wonderful miles!

Awesome run. Look forward to being able to do runs like these with the Striders and other friends. Maybe by fall.

Good running, Tex! Rain seldom hurts our turnouts, and this morning was no different than usual.
