AM. I ran a little over a half mile then met Wayne at Larry's. Larry never came out, even after knocking. Wayne couldn't see their car in the garage. We finally decided to head out for the Wednesday run up the water tank hills. The light rain got a little heavier during the run, but was never real bad. We both commented how it would be nice if the hills got easier after doing them so many times. They didn't seem very easy this morning to either of us. It was encouraging when we reached the top to realize that we had run the 2.5 miles from home to the top of the hills 4 minutes faster than last week. I'm planning on some more miles at noon, but the weather doesn't look too favorable. PM. Tom and I ran 5 easy miles in the rain on the modified Eagle View course. We didn't focus much on the running, just had a nice conversational run. My Garmin showed an average pace of around 8:21/mi. I might have preferred to hear laughter in the rain walking hand in hand with the one I love (Karen)...or I might have preferred to be singing and dancing in the rain...but running in the rain with Tom was pretty enjoyable, too.
