This was an "LT" run where I add on about 30-35 seconds onto my expected 10k time. The most interesting thing about this run is that it was raining out (and in the 50's temperature wise) but I didn't let that deter me from running. In fact, towards the latter half of the run, the bottom really fell out and I was soaked to the bone, but felt great! I had a really euphoric experience where I felt invincible out there, especially with all the cars going by and seeing the "crazy guy out there running in the cold rain."
