8/11/10 Wednesday

7.1 miles easy
no watch
Reily to AP
8:00 AM start
77 degrees, thunderstorms
Boston blue

I had a great run this morning. There's a tropical depression, Danielle, heading our way and the thunderstorms started this morning around 5:30. When I left Reily it was drizzling and breezy. By the time I got to the front of campus at St. Charles Ave. (.75 miles) I could see that it was pouring those big cold drops right across the avenue in Audubon Park. The lightning was crashing around everywhere. I got a major wet ass on the first lap, then it slacked off to light drizzle again for a lap and a half. One the third and last lap it started pouring again. It was beautiful. I saw a total of fewer than ten other people in the park.

I felt great at least in part due to the cooler temperature, the good breeze, and the cool downpour. My legs felt good. My ankles were solid and pain free. I was comfortable and relaxed. This was on of my better runs over the past two months.
