Downpour

I woke up around 5 and was thinking that maybe I would go back to sleep and go out later. For a moment, this seemed like a good idea. Somehow the thought of deviating from the norm didn’t seem comfortable to me. I knew the forecast was for rain, but I decided to take my chances. For the first 6 miles it was fairly dry, but then the skies opened up. I did my pick-up on Ridge and included around 6-8 runs. My pace wasn’t awesome, but considering the deluge my pace was ok. I did 8.6 miles in 2:21:31 for a 16:27 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 129 feet with an average heart rate of 106 bpm at a temp of 73 degrees and 93 percent humidity. By the time I took my soaked clothes off the temp was 66 degrees— more to my liking. On another note I’m getting homesick for Maine. Looking forward to working at Camp Good News next week. Thank You Jesus!
