Long commute this morning. Took the Rock Creek Trail down to Georgetown, transferred to the C&O Canal trail, then to the Capital Crescent. Got caught in a fairly heavy thunderstorm starting right around halfway that lasted for a good 20 minutes. Got a good workout lifting my heavy, soggy shoes uphill to Bethesda.
Energy was good during the run until I had to take an emergency bathroom break with only 20 minutes remaining. Couldn't really get back into a rhythm from there but the last mile came in around a 7-minute clip, not bad for uphill, into the wind, with rain-soaked muddy shoes.
Performed emergency surgery on the mobile phone to get the water out. Normally I would have been better prepared but I forgot to check the weather before heading out. 13 miles, forgot to start the watch after stopping at a water fountain, calling it 1:40. These midweek longer runs still feel like a lot to do before work. Legs kind of beat up but improved throughout the day.
