Notes
I have run in the rain quite a few times. I am uncertain however, how many of those were started in the rain (maybe one?), so I wasn't exactly quite sure how to dress for it.
As it turns out, I over-dressed. The rain jacket while nice got a little steamy around mile 1.5, and by mile 2.5 I had enough of it.
Luckily, it self-stores in the rear pocket on it into a bag with a strap (something I did not know), so I was able to run with it over my shoulder without issue. My rain pants were another story though and ultimately I just decided to tough it out with them on.
The run itself was one of my best in a long while. During the middle miles, I felt no creakiness or muscle fatigue or soreness anywhere. It was as if I was a gazelle, just gliding along. It was really nice.
Speaking of fragile mammals, my right hoof cramped a couple of times during the last mile but worked itself free. Hopefully it was nothing.
