Saturday the weather was miserable, yet the dogs prodded and prodded, and eventually I relented and took them for a run. Sunday and Monday the weather remained miserable, and the dogs didn't bother me at all. I guess even they have a limit to what they are willing to put up with. Today was a gorgeous day, almost shocking in its contrast to the preceding few, so it seemed appropriate to take a longer than usual run. I had revised my plans to run the 3 km time trial tomorrow, so I didn't want to overdo it and thus settled on a comfortable long loop from Caryl Park.
At first, I made an effort to avoid the plentiful water on the trails, but that soon seemed impractical, so I charged straight through the next several puddles. But then I nearly threw a tread in the muck, so I reverted to Plan A to the extent that it was feasible. My effort was steady but not stressful and seemed like a reasonable tune-up for the harder run I had planned for the morning.
