Today was a little tricky on planning a run because initially I thught I would replicate race day as far as food, wake up time and so forth but then some pretty good storms rolled into town. I was up early but eating donuts for breakfast with the boys is not an ideal pre-race meal. It was raining pretty darn hard all morning and the wind really started to pick up so I thought about shelfing the run. I finally decided to go and the plan would be to zig zag through the neighborhoods and try to stay out of the 20+ winds. I started around 10am which is race start time and the first 2.5 miles were a struggle and when I headed south it was crazy tough. Running north was a breeze!! Overall though it ended up to be a good test run of apparell since it was 57, cloudy, windy and then sun at the end turning it into a humid last couple of miles. Average pace was 7:17/mi.
