Rainy midweek eleven

Part of the training program are the semi-long runs of 10-12 miles. These runs are always surprisingly challenging, because I tend to underestimate them. The Saturday long run is the main challenge of the week, and so are interval and tempo runs. But the mid-week mid-distance run is always a nasty surprise. 

Today would have been quite ok if it weren't for the heavy rain and wind. By the end of the run I was thoroughly soaked and cold, and was very very glad it was over. One more 10 miler next week, and then we are done with them. Today the starting numbers for Boston were announced, I am number 8817, which means I start in the 8th corral of the first wave.
