Rain and pain

July 6, 2020 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 90s and uber humid with rain

Comments:
Leah B and I headed out just after the first round of downpour and found ourselves in the middle of some more heavy showers with distant thunder and lightning. Still, the air cooled a bit as we ran and the rain felt good in the heat. She and I went Livingston, Western, Conn, Livingston. Dropped her just after a mile and at about 12 minute mark. Added on an extended version of that loop which included Kirkside to No Exit and up to Magnolia Parkway. After starting slowly at a 10:45 pace, I don't think I picked it up much once alone, and I felt heavy and slow throughout. Maybe got down to 8:00 pace, but maybe hovered slower than that. Just survived it and will live to fight another day. I suspect the mileage jump last week, and the long run with Leah S. took more out of me than I thought.
