Well, I couldn't possibly have picked a wetter day to do a workout. It just poured all day and during my run was no different. I got a very late start -- 4:00pm. With pitch dark coming at 5pm I knew I would be runninf back in the dark. So I bolted for Redmond HS which is 3.7 miles from work including a monster hill too steep for hill workouts. Was already drenched upon arrival. Shoes schlosshing with water and all.
Workout was 400m-400m-800m three times except dropping the final 800m. Goal was 69s for the 400s and 2:26 for the 800s.
1st – 70, 70, 2:26
2nd – 70, 70, 2:30
3rd -- 73, 71
A touch slower than I wanted but I finished it under ridiculously soaking conditions and did it injury free.
As I was running back to work, I realized that I would not have been wetter if I were swimming underwater. Ugh |
