Rained in Running

It’s my last day in Austin, and was hoping to take advantage of the nice running trails to take a good 10 miler or maybe better.

The weather gods had another idea since the morning was all saturated grey skies (something not seen in Arizona in months, if not years) and a lot of rain. So I resigned myself to use the treadmill in the hotel fitness center.

I’m not very fond of treadmills, but I did find it was good to use to check my paces- I varied between “virtual” laps at a 10:30 minutes./mile clips, 1 at a 9:00 rate, and a few resting ones at 11:00. But damn, even with an iPod I got major BORED and could not go much more than 30 minutes.
