Activity: Easy Run (10:03 suggested pace)
Distance: 10K=6.2 miles
Time: 58:01
Average: 9:20
Splits: 9:43, 9:18, 9:16, 9:38, 20:04/2.2=9:07

Well, I did a very poor job of running at the intended pace. I really tried to! AND I really thought that my mile 3 split would be much closer to 10 minutes. oops! It's definitely hard to run at a 10 minute pace when I know that I only have 6 miles to run. Once I had my pace set, the best thing was to do was to concentrate on running with good form and at an easy pace.

That lasted until the sky opened up at mile 4. Looking at the radar before my run, I knew that I would probably get wet. I opted to go for the run anyway since it's good to practice running in all weather conditions. It could rain all day on the the day of the race. Hell, it could snow in Philly at the end of November. not likely. but not impossible.

The rain began very lightly at about mile 2. This was expected. The torrent that ensued was not. I kept convincing myself that the rain was starting to lighten up. Really, it felt great. I love running in the rain. In the future, I will not bring my iPod when I'm expecting it to rain. I think that it survived this particular soaking tho :-D

mood: runnin' in the rain :-D
health: i'm with brandy. i'd much prefer rain on race day than 90 degrees.
