Today's LBI 18 Mile Race was the first race I've run in the rain in quite some time. The temperature was around 54 degrees and there was light rain at the start which continued through most of the race, although it did let up for a few miles. The conditions kept most of the spectators home today but that did not stop me from achieving a new PR 2:48:31. That put me at a 9:21 average pace. Considering my training and the mild setback I had this month, I was pleased with my overall performance today.
Tomorrow is the start of my 3-week taper and it will also be a REST day for me. I am feeling a bit beat up after today's run but it's nothing more that a good night's rest won't cure!!
Safe training!
John
