I enjoy running in the rain but....

I HATE THUNDERSTORMS!!!

Last night, K and I decided to go up to the trail for a late evening run - we got to the trail around 8:30. She wanted to go to the 3Km mark, which felt great during the run. As we were making our way back on the trail, it started to pour when we had about 2 km left. Didn't mind that too much... Until it started to thunder and lightening... (Not good for the phobia)... So we did some interval running back to the truck and we managed to do a 5.11 min / km. Sure we couldn't sustain it for very long but we were able to do it. Moral of the story, probably not gonna do a longer distance run so late at night on a trail that is not lighted during a thunderstorm.

However, it was the first time that I did a 25 minute consecutive run. It is scary to admit, that it wasn't that bad and I found it easier than the 20-minute run. The first 10-minutes were a bit tough, but once I was warmed up, I was fine and felt great. My pace was fairly consistent throughout the run. I only swallowed a few bugs. Both my legs and lungs felt fine.

On to week 7 of the program. I am thinking that it was a great idea to repeat the first two runs of week 5 and 6 before attempting the longer run. Although I am kinda sad that there is no more interval running until I start the Bridge to 10k program.
