Adjusting to the elements

One day we have a drought, and the next a hurricane, and the hurricane is making it tough for me to get my 18-mile long run in this week.

Happily, Isaac in Missouri isn't what he was in Florida and Louisiana. He's brought a lot of rain, though, and it looks like the rain that began late Friday morning will still be with us until about noon Saturday. In an effort to work around the weather, I decided I'd break my workout into 2 or 3 sessions. The first session was tonight in the gym, where I did 6.55 miles in 65 minutes.

Session 2 will be back in the gym Saturday morning if it's still raining, as forecast. I'll do another 6 or 7 miles. I hope to do the remaining miles outside in the afternoon after the rain stops. It'll be warm by then, but I should only have around 5 miles left.

After that, it's north, to Alaska.
