10 Mile Evening Run

The weatherman yesterday made it sound like storms would be rolling thru early in the day, and it would be cooler and drying later on, so figured I would run in the evening, which would allow me to sleep in. It threatened rain more or less all day with a shower here and there, and at 5:30ish I headed out with the plan to run 12 miles, and of course it looked like rain. Headed out from the lake towards the Katy Trail, then down to the Katy Trail and SW for a bit, getting 5 miles out before turning around. I figured if I felt decent when I got back to the Lake, I'd get in another mile to make it 12. About 2 miles out it started sprinkling, and the last half mile or so it was raining, so decided to cut it at 10 miles. Used the walk a bit every mile plan that has been working well recently, so walked a bit every mile but the first one and last one. 10 miles in 1:45:06, avg pace of 10:30, best mile of 9:52. Splits of 10:28, 10:37, 10:29, 10:35, 10:39, 10:39, 10:46, 10:32, 10:25 and had a bit of gas left for a 9:52 final mile in the rain. Day of rest tomorrow - thank god, heh.
