15 MILES AND 3 HOURS LATER....

I AM SORE!!! Wow what a long run... The sun was not up when I left (6:10) so I went directly to my Riverfront trail to see the sunrise but it never happened. It was a really dark and humid morning. After 30 mins, a light rain was coming down and it felt great, the humidity dropped down and it was fresh. But after 1h it started pouring rain and it never stopped!! At the 7 miles mark, I saw Mr. Smily on his bike, we stopped for a brief chat and then continued our way, so good to see him though! The next 3 miles were spent day dreaming about our date tomorrow! Then, I stopped for some stretching and Tangerine Gel (yuck... those are really gross).... I was at the 13.1 miles mark 14 minutes later than last week (1:36)! I guess the rain didn't bring the "best" in me! The last 2 miles were really hard, my right knee starting to act funny, my capris were wet and heavy and I was really tired.

But I did it, 15 miles in 3:01 (12:05 min/mile). I meet up with Flashy and her BF for breakfast afterwards and I got the 3 eggs/bacon/sausage breakfast. I'm full and satisfied, and now, I'm going to go for a power nap!

Oh before I forget, I also want to deeply thanks ViaRail for having restrooms open to the public starting so early! The city of Windsor decided to not open public restrooms in the park this morning.... grr...
