But real runners run despite the conditions so I laced up early this morning and set out for day 3 of 10k training.
It wasn't raining too bad, just a light steady rain. Now let me say this is HUGE. Black girls don't do rain and my hair wasn't happy about it even though I had a hood on.
This was THEE best run so far. I found my headphones so I had some music going (not sure if this helps or hinders). I like music, but I kind of like my own company more. I guess today I was able to have some of both.
I decided not to use RunKeeper in the background. I was focusing too much on my pace. Today I slowed it down and allowed myself to run at a pace that didn't make me out of breathe or tired.
It started coming down a bitter harder in the middle of my run, but it's funny that I couldn't tell really. Hood on and focused, I kept going.
I'm still very nervous about this. I just hope I can hang in there when the weather isn't the best. Ouch! thinking about those early mornings when it's cold and the bed is warm. Lord help me.
Keep up the work.!
