Wet run -- Sun. Mar. 6

Late start in the morning, so miss SRRC outing (Ken away, Nick runs solo). Rain all day; I eventually get free to go out pretty late, and it's raining still--and quite hard, on and off, with plenty of water pooling and streaming on the roadways already. Dark night, so stick to local loop: down GeoHannum, to Boardman (through a massive puddle, arg!) then Eskett to 202, down to a left onto Chicopee, then back along School, across 202 (into driving wind and rain now) and along to Batchelor, then GeoHannum to Rural, and back up Boardman to rejoin GeoHannum, then home, thus:

Time: 1:24:07
Distance: 11.13 miles
Pace: 7:33s

Comment: took the first five miles slowly, in the 7:50s or so, then tucked under 7:30 for the second five--very hard work, but maybe a useful addition to the workout (ran in shorts, given the wet, but it still felt like I was *carrying* and extra load most of the way).
