My Father-in-law received some rain gear last week for his birthday. I am seriously considering picking up some of that for my extra rainy runs! Who cares how weird I look -- it really beats having to cut your run shorts because roads are flooding and there isn't a dry stop on you.
Well enough complaining for one day. I hope I have found the solution for at least my feet getting wet. I ordered myself a pair of Sockwas. Now these are basically a neoprene sock with some plastic on the bottom. But I believe they are more or less waterproof. I think my Vibram Five Fingers need to rest on days of pouring rain. So I plan to give these Sockwas a shot! I will let you know how it goes.
For now, on Saturday I did a nice 6.4 mile run. I realized that I DO have my first 12K coming up in 3 weeks and I have neglected to get my distance high enough to handle that without injury. I will be attempting a "12K trial run" this coming Saturday for my long run. But for the mid week runs, I have a long 6 mile run planned for Wednesday, but I think for Tuesday and Thursday I will hang out at the 4 mile range. ---
Looks like overall, my goal of hitting 80 miles run in the month of November is going to be hard to beat. I will fall at a solid 70 miles run, but 80 is a tall order. Not to worry, December will be (more rainy) but more intense. I hope to hit a total of 100 miles run with an average of 25 miles per week.
In addition, I have decided.... who needs to wait until January to start new goals? Half Marathon training starts now!
Catch you later, hopefully with Sockwalicious news!
