Outside

I finally decided to run outside for the first time this season. It was 47 degrees when I left the house. At the very moment when I was 3.5 miles from home on a 7 mile run, it started to rain! Running in the rain when the temp dips below 45 is NOT FUN! I did it, though. I logged 7 miles on solid ground rather than on a conveyor belt! Of course, everything hurts 10X more than usual, so I realize now that I have a LOT of work to do in the next 8 weeks. Even so, time passed much quicker running outside. I've missed it, and can't wait to get back out there again. Maybe I'll try to do my 18 miler outside this weekend... Hmmmmm...
