Only ran 1.6 miles yesterday because it started to rain on me. Of course, I ran it in 14 minutes flat so that's pretty awesome. I was a bit worried right at the beginning of the run because I thought I felt something pull right when I started. That was not at all comfortable so I briefly contemplated stopping the run and walking to stretch it out. It loosened back up after another minute of jogging so I didn't worry about it. When I got to the main road, the rain started in earnest. I honestly think it changed directions to come rain on me because there was nothing on radar when I looked before I left the house.
I'm not sure if the rain sped me up, the fact that I switched my time reminders to 5 minutes instead of 10, or something else, but I'm pretty happy with that speed. Hopefully I'll be able to get it down from 8:48 to 8:30 and then maintain it for a full 10k.
Today my wife says I turned off my alarm, but I think I forgot to set it. So I'll have to get up earlier than planned tomorrow to get a run in before all the other stuff I have to do. My goal is 3.5 miles in 30 minutes. That's almost right in the middle of yesterday's pace and an 8:30 pace.
