Got up at the usual time today for the Saturday long run and was only able to manage 1.5 miles before there was too much wind and rain. Went back in the house to sit it out for a while and see if it would pass. A couple of hours later it finally blew over and I was able to go out and finish the run. I did get sprinkled on a bit but nothing like when I first started. The run went well although I did start to feel some fatigue and pain toward the end but I guess that is to be expected since it is one of my longer runs for the year. This was the last build up week for the 5K which is coming up next Saturday. I would like to try for a sub 20 minute 5K but I don't think my fitness is there is this is not a really great course for doing it since it always seems to come up on the garmin a bit long. I think for the course, anthing close to 21 minutes would be good for me.
