Medium run, 5 miles; 55:12; splits 10:59, 10:20, 10:54, 12:00, 11:00.
 
A gray cool morning with a little drizzle that then turned into pretty steady rain. Not too bad–and to think I used to worry about running in the rain. A really heavy downpour with big drops would be a different story, of course. So the Forerunner is definitely accurate and I must have screwed something up the first time I ran this course, because it measured just a little over 4.8 miles this time. I ran up and down the driveway to reach exactly 5, which seems a little anal, but I like those nice round numbers and being able to get my pace exactly. 2 new-to-me wildflowers: hemp nettle I think? (something in the mint family anyway, with white flowers) and some kind of agrimony.
