Before you read any further, click this link and scroll to number six and you will know what type of run I faced today. The worst was I knew that it was going to be a wet run before I even went to sleep on Thursday night. I also was running in Bristol for the second time and had no idea where or how I was going to get an easy 10 miles done.
If you have been reading since the inception of this blog, you know I tend to do loop runs or out and backs, even though that isn't how I like race courses to be designed. I had hoped to find a way to go five miles out and then turn around and come five miles home. I was sorely mistaken and ended up doing 2.5 one way, coming back and then doing another 2.5 in another direction and then coming back home from there. The one silver lining -- I had run some of the roads already during the Bristol Half Marathon and used that to help me not be completely lost. Another funny thing is, I couldn't run 2.5 miles in any direction without running into a hill -- should've guessed that after last week's race. But, the run was done in 1:43.47 -- including having to stop at traffic lights (I thought that'd be for the best -- the stopping part that is). Going back to the link at the top of the post, I am not one to back down from a weather challenge as you never know what you are going to get on race day. Granted, I couldn't go far into my apartment with my clothes on, but I did feel like a bada** running through the rain. And the best part, I didn't get sprayed on from a car passing by!
