Wet Feet!

So I tried to beat the storms by heading out for an early run. We are expecting very heavy rains and cooler temps. I looked at the radar and the front was way North and West. I guess I wasn't aware how fast the front was moving! OOPS! Caught again in the middle of a storm!
I had made up my mind to go at least 9 miles so When the front hit, suddenly, I was 4.7 miles from home. I turned and high tailed it homeward. Here came the cold front! BRRR...high winds, heavy rains, I kinda liked it!? At least the wind was behind me, I had my running hat on so I was protected. My shoes got soaked, but I felt better than anytime this week.
Towards the end of the run I began to hurt, but it is the good kind of hurt that is necessary to experience. The hills have a way of zapping you.
Totals-9.41 miles/ 1:38:52/ 10:30's. Best run in a while. Thanks for all the encouragement. I've needed it this week. I appreciate you guys and your thoughts and words. You all are the best!
So I need two more efforts this week with the focal run Saturday; a long MP.
Lots of you all are going to Chicago. I've never been there! Good luck Jamie! Chanti! And anyone else I missed. I hear tell it is a great marathon! Peace
