Last night, I ran with my Brooksie Way training group. Actually, I switched groups. The first week I was in a slower group and it was driving me crazy, the second week I didn't go because I though it was going to storm so this week I joined Paul and Cathy's group. That being said, I loved my group this week. I was with two of my group members from the Couch to 5k program. We ran 4:1 at 11.30 pace.
If you know me, than you know that have anxiety about a few things. One of those things is storms. I hate storms. I don't think they're pretty, relaxing, etc.etc. So, it was a calm ride up to Oakland University when there were black clouds in front of me the whole entire time! ugh.
Right when we were ready to start running it seriously down poured. We ran into Paul's manly truck (ha), there were approx 7 of us in his truck. I wish I had a picture. This did not help the anxiety. One of my group members said to me, "I looked on the radar and its only a small rain cell. No storms." I guess that eased my anxiety a little bit. Just a little.
The rain stopped after 5 minutes and we all safely climbed out of Paul's monstrosity of a truck to start our 5 mile run. It was a great run! We ran around OU's campus and Meadowbrook. It rained. A lot. I've never ran in the rain. Whenever I see rain clouds I skip the run. But, it was actually kind of refreshing. When we were at 3.5 miles the sun came out and there was a double rainbow. It was pretty intense.
Overall, it was a great training run. I won the Pick MI Date contest so I'll be attending the Hour Best of Detroit party, that should be fun. Then tomorrow is the Solstice Run! Can't wait.
