8 Miles In The Rain…

Workout: 30 minute Easy Run

Tonight was so fun. I ran with some new friends with the Mars Hill Running Club. On the drive up to GR I drove through a torrential downpour. I would have probably bailed but I knew I would take a fare amount of grief.

I met up with Lynell before the group run to log 3 miles as we both anted to end with 8 for the night. I was nervous because she was talking about 8:00/m pace which would have been doable, but probably not pretty. Luckily she was content to run 8:15’s or so.

The first 3 miles were pretty good, then we met up with Sara and the rest of the group. They were all really nice, as runners tend to be. Al in all I would say we had about 20+ runners.

We started out in the rain but that eventually subsided. We ran through some fun little neighborhoods, on some paved trails, and some parks. It was actually a cool little route. By the end of the run the sun came out which was cool. I actually didn’t mind the rain that much although I must remember more body glide next time I do it.

Good run. Bring on Indy!
