the long run in the cold rain

I waited till late in the day to run and as I was putting on my shoes I noticed it was starting to rain. And I was in shorts to make sure that I would get cold and I did. At first the rain was a drizzle but as I went further the rain got harder.

I went out thru the park and up into the Marly forest for the standard loop, doing 24.94km in 2:22 min for an average pace of 5:43 per km.

As I write this my legs, feet, knees, hips, etc are all stiff and sore. I’m blaming this out-of-shapeness on the week in the Alps with too much to eat and drink.

I ran in my trail shoes for the first time in a long time and my right toe got hammered again. I think I’ll have to give up on these shoes for long runs.
