Notes
Strapped on the old shoes and tried to sneak in a run between thunderstorms. No chance.
First 2 miles were mostly dry, last 3.5 were absolutely soaked. What a great feeling. It was pouring but warm. One of those wonderful runs where despite the rain, you feel strong and empowered by the whole experience. Didn't stay under my target heart rate. I'll blame it on the rain this time but I ran hard up the hills and pushed the pace once the rain started in earnest.
Splits:
9:25, 135bpm
9:12, 158bpm (mostly uphill)
9:19, 149bpm
8:48, 152bpm
8:46, 163bpm (hills)
8:10 pace 159bpm
