Just call me Mrs. Noah.<\/p>\n

Today’s training schedule called for an 8 mile Tempo Run.<\/p>\n

I don’t tempo under the best of circumstances. \u00a0As a rule, my regular runs end up being quicker than my tempo runs. \u00a0I think I get too nervous about them or something. \u00a0Whatever the reason, my tempo runs generally end up being an epic fail.<\/p>\n

Seeing as today is a Monday, that means I call MIL before I run. \u00a0We chat every Monday morning. \u00a0We chat a lot! \u00a0Today’s call was not different. \u00a0We were on the phone 1.5 hrs. \u00a0The two of us are talkers so when we get a chance to sit down to business, we’re on the phone for quite a while.<\/p>\n

Now, I knew we had rain rolling in today but according to my weather app, the rain wasn’t supposed to arrive until close to 2:00 pm. \u00a0I had tons of time. \u00a0No worries.<\/p>\n

9:15 am and I headed out the door. My first mile was spot on. \u00a0Of course it would be~it was my warm up mile and the pressure wasn’t on. \u00a0I headed on up to Watson Rd to do the tempo miles.<\/p>\n

Watson Rd is about the flattest stretch of road we have around us. \u00a0From one end of Watson to where it dead ends is one mile on the button. \u00a0Perfect!<\/p>\n

I reached Watson Rd. \u00a0It started to sprinkle. \u00a0No big deal. \u00a0The big rain wasn’t supposed to arrive until after lunch. \u00a0The sprinkles would keep me from over heating. \u00a0I opened up and started running like crazy.<\/p>\n

A glance at my Garmin told me I was spot on for pace. \u00a0THAT was unusual! \u00a0I’m always too slow. \u00a0Hmmm….<\/p>\n

Now, a lot of the out buildings along this road have metal roofing. \u00a0As I was running (at my assigned pace! *I still can’t believe that!*) I heard a lot of noise up ahead. \u00a0I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was. \u00a0Then I saw it.<\/p>\n

That noise was the rain. \u00a0Not a light rain. \u00a0I mean an immense downpour! \u00a0This was the kind of rain that if you’re driving you pull over and wait for it to pass. \u00a0The rain was pounding on the metal roofing and making a bunch of racket.<\/p>\n

Well, I wasn’t in a car and couldn’t pull over so I just kept on running. \u00a0The rain was pouring off my visor. \u00a0My shoes were squishing and I was only on the first mile! \u00a0#shootmenow<\/p>\n

I reached the end of Watson Road, turned around and opened up for my second at pace mile.<\/p>\n

ZOOM!!!<\/p>\n

Still on pace. *Amazing!*<\/p>\n

Turned around again. \u00a0Down Watson Road for mile 3 at tempo pace. \u00a0Still hitting my splits. \u00a0This has never, EVER happened!<\/p>\n

It was still dumping buckets!<\/p>\n

On my way back from the end of Watson on mile 4 of tempo pace, the rain lightened up a little bit. \u00a0I saw a car coming towards me, I pulled over and was running on the side of the road. \u00a0The car slowed down. \u00a0It was MFH (My Favorite Husband).<\/p>\n

“I saw it was raining.,” he said. \u00a0“Do you need a ride?” \u00a0That was very sweet but seeing as it was just rain…no thunder\/lightening\/hail…I told him I was fine and would be home soon. \u00a0He waved and drove home. \u00a0Isn’t he the sweetest!?!<\/p>\n

To make a long story short, I hit every. single. split. this morning. \u00a0Every one! \u00a0Mark this day on your calendars folks! \u00a0Don’t know if it will ever happen again. \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n

Made it home a soggy mess. \u00a0While I was running, I was thinking to myself, “Who in their right mind tries to run a tempo run in a monsoon!?!” \u00a0I guess I do. \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n

Duck Weather running at its best!<\/p>\n
