I’ve been running the advanced mileage for the last two weeks. Today it was raining when I woke up. I thought about skipping my run, but the schedule said I need to do 10 miles with strides. By the way this week after class I had a discussion with my coach who asked if I was doing my strides and I said yes. However today I tried, but I was water logged and tired. Although the first few miles went by OK, it was the last few miles that I considered a “death march”. I just tried to get it over with. So I attempted to do my strides, but I don’t think I did them very well in the rain. I could feel that my hat, top, shorts, and shoes weighed tons with all the rain water in them.
