Running in the Rain

Saturday: 19 miles in 2:31:49 (7:59.4/mile avg). Most of the run was in the rain, which i love. During the hardest downpour was the biggest smile on my face. Enjoyed a classic runner's high at mile 3.16. Started training with Gatorade Lemon-Lime Endurance Formula since that will be the drink of choice in my race. Thought my stomach wouldn't welcome the change, but no problems at all. My foot, however, has been aching since the run and the tough training has just started. Hoping for the best.

Sunday's workout was picking up trash on the side of the roads outside our subdivision for two hours (75 smashed Busch Lite can/mile avg).

Pace run scheduled for today. Not sure if i should five in or be cautious and spin instead. This weekend holds a 63 mile bike ride in the Loess Hills and a 20 mile run somewhere.
