SHMT, Day 22
A same-day post - how 'bout that!
Careful scrutiny of the weather forecast yesterday afternoon produced the following scenario: it's likely to be raining lightly this morning, but even more likely to be raining harder tomorrow morning, so we decided to run this morning rather than have a rest day today and run tomorrow, before this weekend's pair of runs.
Not too many other runners out this morning at Green Lake when we started, but the parking lot and the path were considerably more populated by the time we finished our two laps. ("Wimps," says Shar, "sleeping in until 6am.") The rain tapered off a little on our drive over, and during the first lap; it really wasn't that bad once we were warmed up.
Funny, she thinks, as I do, that we're running slowly, only to find that we're setting a 9:30 pace. We're not looking for speed, but a little improvement can't be a bad thing.
So yes, a day off tomorrow, a solo four miles on Saturday, and then 10K on Sunday with Shar.
And a great musical opportunity tomorrow night; we're seeing an old favorite, Peter Mulvey, at a house concert over on Capitol Hill. He's someone we have known and enjoyed listening to since we lived in Ohio, and try to see every time he's in town (I think I've only missed him twice in the eight years we've lived in Seattle).
