Today I was running in the clouds...not to be confused with the far more positive running on a cloud. Rained hard during the night and the wind was whipping around pretty good too. mid 40's with rain showers and some hard downpours as well this a. m. windy at times as well - Wore my pants and jacket...problem was the pants are not the good kind that are skin tight, they are the kind that get wet and start slapping from one leg to the other. That was very annoying. About 6 miles in I was bit by a dog whose owner could not hold him back(who has a mean spaniel anyway). Fortunately the bite didn't break the skin but there is a bump there and a little bruising. Then saw Sno. soon after that at the park where I stopped for some water. Chatted with her and then decided to cut my run short from 11 to 9 miles. It was just way too miserable out there today. Had some hot chocolate to warmup when I got home. That hit the spot. I drained about 5 lbs. of water out of my clothes once I could get them off. Oh and to top off a lovely morning...my commute is normally 35-40 minutes turned out to be 1 hour and 15 minutes and I was almost rearended by mr. giant truck talking on the phone.
Next run will be Saturday...20 miles.
