The rain threatened today, but was mostly done by the time I set out. It was still cold... only 46-48F and moist. I donned my rain jacket and my little backpack and headed out. I have a 10k in a couple weeks and I know I will need to take more with me than my iFitness belt will hold, so I'm going to take a little backpack. I'll look like a total geek, but oh well. The backpack worked fine. It wasn't annoying at all. It didn't restrict my movement. I'm not going to be loading it down, so that's not an issue. I think the biggest issue will be that my back will be sweaty behind it.
Today's run was 7 miles. It wasn't the easiest or fastest run ever, but it went fine. I felt fine and had no issues finishing. I started out with a 160bpm podcast, but that wasn't long enough, so my mp3 player rolled over the the next one, a 162bpm podcast. Worked fine! I think I feel like I'm using my glutes more with this faster cadence.
No bunnies today. Odd. But, I did see a dead deer. I'd rather see bunnies than that! Several runners out this morning. It's fun to be part of that Sunday long run thing.
