Rain ... in late June, and lots of it!

See all that green and blue on the radar map?  That’s a day full of rain that just passed through the area, along with highs in the mid-60’s.  July is peeking at us from the upcoming weekend and here we are experiencing early spring weather.

I would’ve loved to have gone out and run in it, unfortunately my run yesterday was a really tough 9.2 mile trail run that included an endless range of humbling inclines.  My legs needed a break today so I gave them 45 minutes of 8 minute miles on the treadmill.  Flat, easy, smooth.  All the roads and trails around my home are composed primarily of hills, so the indoor treadmill was the best option.  No need to grind my legs into the ground.

Still, it was nice to get a reminder of autumn running weather, my favorite time of year to get out in it.  Tomorrow the weather will be back to dry mid-70’s and I’m sure it won’t be too long before we get more characteristic heat to provide that extra challenge.

Anyone manage to get some good mileage in during the rain today?
