Run 975: Slower, wetter

Brunette River, pre-run: October showers bring November…uh, showers.

It was already raining before today’s run, so off to the river trail I went. I was running (ho ho) late due to accidentally sleeping in, so I didn’t start until close to 11:30. I opted for two layers because of the rain, but in retrospect, I think one layer (the Echo hoodie) would have sufficed, though I didn’t get overly warm or anything.

I was a bit tired, though, maybe due to somewhat interrupted sleep last night, and didn’t have the same zip as Wednesday. I still finished with a perfectly cromulent pace of 5:42/km, and BPM was still below 150, albeit just at 149. Pretty good!

There were a few more people out than I expected, given the weather, but it mostly seemed to be dutiful owners walking their dogs. One other person was jogging. The weather itself was a mix of everything:

  • Rain
  • Light rain
  • Drizzle
  • Sun (only for a few minutes)
  • Cloud

This meant I didn’t get completely drenched, which was nice. Overall, a decent, if soggy wrap to the week.
