great Awash on a Sea of Endorphins 10.05 mi 01:44 10:21 pace

Warm, rainy morning, storm front moving through the area, 70F at 6:30 AM. Set out to run 9 or 10 miles at a comfortable pace. Felt good all the way, found a really nice rhythm in the 7th mile that felt amazing and held through the rest of the run. The rain turned torrential in the last mile and I ran closer to the curb and enjoyed splashing through the ankle-deep water rushing towards the storm drains. On the way by, a man on his front porch called out "You're really dedicated!" Got home just ahead of the lightning and thunder that came at the height of the storm. Still buzzed on the endorphins from this one. Hope you all are having a great weekend! :)
