Today was 9 miles, which according to the schedule should have been on Thursday. However, I have several obligations that day so I figured it was better to get the longer run over with today (Thursday will now be 5M with hills). Nine miles is the new 8 miles, apparently, because today's run really didn't feel all that bad either. However, it was probably helped by the fact that it was cooler (around 70F) and overcast the whole time.
The overcast, actually, was a bit concerning because it definitely picked up as I went along. I checked three different weather forecasts this morning, not because I was worried about rain but because they were somewhat contradictory: AccuWeather put the humidity at 80%, while WeatherBug had it at 98% or something disgusting like that. But not one of them had mentioned rain around the time I was running. Luckily, it held off. There was just a brief shower right now, but it's about two hours later.
I also realized something weird. In my entire training program, I have not once been caught out in the rain. It's been close and there were a few times that I thought I would, but it has never actually rained while I was out. Now we have had a dry fall (there was basically no rain in October), but this seems unusual for Florida. Here's hoping I can keep that streak going for the rest of training!
