On Monday I set out to get a good tempo run in. Weather was supposed to be blowing into OK, but was predicted for the far NW corner and the East side of the state. Didn’t realize a band of rain was blowing through Norman until I went outside already dressed, dog in hand, and Nano ready to go. Wait a minute, the ground is wet, and the sky looks dark. Oh well, on with it. It was sprinkling as I left, and got a little heavier as I progressed. Decided to keep going, but stay near the house. As I was just about to take a turn for another loop, it really began raining, so I turned around and headed for the house. Nike+ gave me 2.06 miles in 16:10 or so. Mapped out at 2.25 miles. Not too shabby, but really felt the legs and lungs in the last .5 or so.
Last night I intended to get a little longer tempo run, but the kiddos were not cooperating, still recovering from their 4 month shots. When 10 pm rolled around and I still hadn’t gotten out, decided to do some Yoga for Paddlers instead. Been a long time, but the burn felt oh so good. Definitely need to add this back into the routine on a regular basis.
