I had a hard time sleeping last night when the rain and thunder started. I have a son at a week-long scout camp who gets really nervous around lightning and I kept thinking about him. I hope he's doing okay. It was raining when I woke up this morning, but it had stopped by 6:30 when I finally decided to go out. I ran on the SF High track so that I could get a feel for an 8:00 pace on a flat surface. There was a great rainbow when I started. The rain came and went as I ran, and there was lightning that drew closer during my last mile. Lightning doesn't bother me too much, but there are a lot of tall, metal structures around the track. I left pretty quickly after a finished - better safe than sorry. :) The plan was to do a one mile warm-up and one mile cool down, with the middle 3 miles at an 8:00 pace. My splits were 9:16, 8:01, 7:57, 8:00, 9:21. &nbs |
