I've been pretty sick this week. Today I decided that I needed to get out of the house and go for a run. I planned to do 5k in about 30/35 mins. Nice and easy (9:30/10) around the park. It was a little chilly today, but I figured I'd dress reasonably and get my lungs working.
Unfortunately, within minutes of hitting the pavement in the park it started to sprinkle a cold rain from the sky. At this point I was rounding the first turn at the lower loop... so I could either finish the loop and go home, run home now - cutting at least 2 miles off the intended run, or I could try for the full 5k. I decided to finish the lower loop and ditch. I made it 2.75 miles. My ear hurt from the chill in the air, I was fairly soaked, and I felt like a bit of an idiot for even going out. Plus, instead of running an easy 9:30/10 pace, I picked it up in order to be out for less time... Ran 8:57.
Oh well. I did it. There it is.
