ARC Monday Night Jam (again.)

A bright flash of lightning as we were preparing to run was enough to convince my friend Heather and me that we didn't need to run this morning. We decided to go to Magnolia for breakfast instead. Heather said she took that as proof that I wasn't entirely insane with my running.

So tonight I added a little extra to my regular run with the ARC folks to make up for some of the missed mileage this morning. I think the extra 8 hours or so of recovery time did me good; I felt really good despite the humidity.

There was a whole gaggle of new dudes at the run tonight. Unfortunately, that meant that the pace was much less leisurely than it normally is, and I was barely hanging on to the back, stubbornly refusing to let this run turn into a workout. There was a pecking order to be established, apparently, and although I'm not entirely immune to that kind of thing I knew if I pushed too hard I'd be feeling it tomorrow during our scheduled two-mile time trial. Still, I managed to sucker a few of them into conversation and keep it more or less social.

I sure hope it's less humid for the time trial tomorrow. We've got a race coming up on Sunday and word is it's going to be warm and humid again. Can you believe it? It's been such great running weather lately ...
