Wow, what a wet run! I had an appointment in Bellevue for 11:00 am, so I planned on stopping off in Issaquah to run 17 or so miles on the Eastlake trail. I brought a change of clothes and a gallon jug of warm water for a little post run 'shower' too.
By the time I got out the door I was late. I figured I'd perhaps only have time to get in 14 or 15 miles, but instead I ran faster! I started out at 7:40 and progressed to a last mile of 6:38 and was able to squeeze in 16 miles in 1:58. Then I stripped to my shorts in the parking lot and took my quick 'shower' before racing off to my appointment. I was 2 minutes late however :/
It felt good to run a little faster for once though! |
