Today was my last run that has double digits before the race, it was a nice, easy 12 miler. I ran from the house, onto Raeford Road, hit Wayside Road then Chicken Road onto FT Bragg. Pretty fair run, I got on the road about 0830, it was actually sunny outside when I started. It stayed sunny til I hit about mile 8, then it clouded over again. You can always tell when it is about to rain in NC, it starts to get cool and the wind picks up a little bit. It was starting to do that this morning, so I picked it up a little bit more. I hate running in the rain - - Nothing you can do but just get wet.
Luckily, I made it home before it got going, there were just a few sprinkles coming on down when I made the turn back into the neighborhood, it has been spitting, starting and stopping all day long. I guess these are the April showers, I will let you know how May goes. Pretty fair run, I had a pretty steady pace for the 12 miles, right at 7:20.
There was some artillery firing on the range, it sounded like two guns, one would fire then about a second later the other would fire. Pretty cool. There was a short time that I could hear the guns firing, then hear the rounds impacting. That kept me entertained for a couple of miles.
Next week are some mellower runs, I will have a little bit of speed on Thursday, a nice run on Tuesday and something on Saturday, probably a 6-8 miler.
