Under The Weather

Saturday morning was a battle to get out of bed; the rain was pouring down the humid air making for an unpleasant morning. As I layed there, I knew sleeping in was not an option for me. Lets face it, I need to pick up the pace if I ever want to do anything. After reading Chuckie V's post that stated, "a rainy day seperates the recreational triathletes from the serious ones. I want to be a serious one.

I met my running crew at Cadence in Manayunk by 8 am. The plan for the day was to do approximately 9 miles with a lot of hill work. There were five of us participating in the run. The coaches stayed back at the bike shop while we headed out with only a map. It was a great run; there were only a handful of people on the road which supports Chuckie V's post of triathletes love for rain.

Time was not a focus on the run due to the hill work and that we did not have a clear idea of the route causing us to stop briefly to check out the map. Overall, I am excited to start training on more hills.
