After a long time I ran in ran in the rain today. It's been raining since last night into this morning with sporadic rains throughout the day. Rain is forecast for the next few days as well. Although the roads were wet and the earthworms were out, it only rained part of the way when I was running. I ran at a very easy pace, but at 70 F with rain jacket on it was hot making the run much more strenuous than I thought it would be. The easy pace did make it easy on the body. The ankle felt really good - in fact, I haven't felt that good on the ankle since last year. May be it was the rub I gave it with Ayurvedic massage oil last night, or it was the icepack I've been keeping everyday, or both. It's been a slow recovery from the tendinitis from last year. I will continue taking it easy on Friday's run and the race on Sunday. A hurricane system is moving in from the south bringing in lot more rains on Sunday. That will make it very wet on my first half-marathon. Ah, whatever. I'm not going to dissolve in water. Moreover, as I am looking to run the marathon next year who knows what the weather is going to be like. So, I want to be prepared for all kinds of weather.
That's all for today. Hope y'all are enjoying your run or recovery whatever is on your schedule.
Cheers!
