Despair and Then Sun

This morning was rainy and breezy. I spent it doing a grocery run and some stuff around the house. I ate lunch, thinking I could run an hour later. Then the weather became a little worse and I despaired of running today.

About 90 minutes later the sky cleared, the mist stopped, and the breeze settled down. I think I hit the perfect seam in the weather today. The sun was shining all 6 miles, and I enjoyed it so much I ran the whole way. Yes, even up the big hill. I purposefully kept the pace down and finished at 9:45/mile. I feel like that helped my effort. Plus, so soon after the rain and with sidewalks still wet I didn't see a lot of other people out. It was a good start to the holiday week.
