Workout: recovery 5mi.

Normally I would take Booger in the stroller on these easy, low-mileage recovery runs. However, the weather forecast was calling for some rain so I decided I would spare him the free outdoor bath and go in the early AM.

While my pace was a leisurely 8 1/2min per mile, the rain unfortunately was not leisurely, but rather, "monsoon-ely". I will almost always run as scheduled despite the weather conditions, since my philosophy is that I cannot control the weather on race day, so I should prepare for the worst. On this morning, I started out running amidst a light sprinkle. By the time I was 1/4mi into the route, my vision was blurred by a wall of rain.

Oh well...at least it's good for the lawn and flowers!
