Daily Run: Cold Rain
Time of Day: 7:05 AM
Weather: 45*, breezy, raining
Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes 9 seconds
Distance: 8.5 miles
Average Pace: 8:15/mile
Notes: I woke up before my alarm and felt much better this morning, but didn’t get up. I could hear the rain outside and knew it wouldn’t be a warm rain. I set my alarm for later and tried to go back to sleep, hoping the rain would stop soon.
But I couldn’t go back to sleep. I wanted to get up and I wanted to go running–I just didn’t want to run in the cold rain. I got up and looked outside and it didn’t look bad, so I decided to just go anyway.
It wasn’t as awful as I expected, although it was uncomfortable when the wind picked up. I had the popular running trail to myself, so I only had to dodge puddles instead of people.
The rain all but stopped after a few miles, but then picked up again on my way home. I got really cold in that last half mile, which I only added to round out my 12.5 miles from yesterday. It didn’t matter by then because I was almost done and most of the run was nice. I ran a perfect recovery pace without feeling too slow.
Does anyone else feel like they have tons to do right now? Work is going to be really busy until I leave from home on the 23rd–I’m working this weekend, a double on Monday, and fitting in my 20-miler on Tuesday morning. Hope I get to bake Christmas cookies!

actually for once in my life I DONT feel that busy. although I have a ton going on this weekend, I just havent been stressing like usual
Glad today was a rest day for me. Cold rain would have made me run for the treadmill and that’s almost as bad.
And, yes. I feel like I have tons to do! This week has been crazy. Thank God it’s nearly Friday.
That’s why the holidays can be so stressful…lots to do!
Do you *ever* run on the treadmill? You are out there in all kinds of inclement weather! Any hint of rain and I am on the TM, watching ESPN (or whatever is on at the gym), faster than you can say “warm and dry.”
