Today's run was one of the first times I ran more than a few minutes in real rain. I love the rain, but the jury is still out about how much I love
running in it. I had a hard time finding my groove today. I tried a RunDisney playlist (thanks
@roxymama for the tip!), which felt appropriate because I'm definitely counting down the days to my first ever trip to WDW next week.
Anyways, I don't know if it was just the rain, or the "cumulative fatigue," or breaking in new shoes, or something entirely different (we've had a weird week this week), but I just never felt super locked in during the run. That's ok. Not every one is going to be fantastic. Was scheduled to do 3 miles at EB + Strides. Did 3.04, with splits of 13:31, 13:08 (much of this mile is downhill), and 12:34 (strides during this mile). Still a little on the faster-than-scheduled side. I knew it, too, but I was wet and cold and just wanted to keep moving. Tomorrow is supposed to be my EA pace, so I'll definitely be relaxing, even if it is raining.
I will say, my heels feel much better in these NB shoes. I'm hoping the Kinvara 7s I ordered yesterday (thanks again for the tip,
@DopeyBadger) will get here before we leave for WDW.
Stats: 3.04 miles, 39:45 (13:04/mi).
