As I prepared my breakfast this morning I heard thunder and wondered if the rain would hold off until after my run. I prepared myself for rain which I actually enjoy running in. It keeps me cool and as long as I am moving and the wind is not too bad I don't get cold. It is a good thing that I don't mind the rain because around one and a half miles it began to drizzle a little and by two miles it was raining hard. I would say I encountered the hardest rain the last two miles of todays six mile run. My shirt was literally stuck to my body it was so wet and by the time I got home I looked like I had jumped into a pool with my running clothes on. My feet stayed dry though, I did wear wicking socks today and I ran in the Asics again which felt good. I was especially proud of todays run because it set a new monthly mileage mark for me. I have run eighty nine miles and counting for July! I know for many this is not an overwhelming number but considering where I was two months ago I am extremely proud that I am on pace to run over one hundred miles this month. In fact after the completion of my long run on Saturday I will pass the century mark for the month. Tomorrow is a day off although I was debating whether or not to take the bike for a spin if the weather is nice. After waking up again at five this morning I am considering taking the extra sleep and biking Sunday or Monday depending how I feel after the long run.
6 miles in 50:30
