Running in the rain

It's been raining here all day yesterday and today (so far.) I wanted to get my run in anyway, so I figured "what a great opportunity to wear my Brooks running jacket." It's meant to be worn in rain and wind. I loaded up Avery and Ranger and went to the park. It was raining a little harder than I anticipated, so I decided to do a short fast run. This is not my favorite type of running, but I figured it would be good since it was raining. I put Avery in the stroller with her new toddler-size BundleMe, and my stroller rain cover. She had some Cheerios and she was good to go! Sometimes she actually looks so cozy in there...I am slightly jealous!

I ran a mile out, took a short minute break, and ran a mile back. According to Strava, my average pace was 7:16, but my app was showing 2.1 miles, and the mile markers I was using only showed 2 miles, so it was probably closer to 7:30-7:40 pace...either way I'll take it!!! I need to do more runs like this if I want to get faster. Ranger did great today, and he was happy to be done so quick! I'm running a 5K at this location on Thanksgiving, so I hope I can run well!
