It's been raining for days on end here but prior to today it hadn't interfered with my training since it wasn't raining in the early mornings. Kind of makes a joke of the water restrictions that have been in place here for a long time though!
The rain woke me on and off throughout the night and so when it got me at 6am, I reached for the alarm and reset it to 7.30 as I knew there was no way I'd go for a run.
In my defence, I did try to remember the whereabouts of my rain-coat that I used to use on the bike, but I haven't seen it since returning from Singapore so couldn't take that option. I should probably try to dig it out anyway, just in case...
I'm a bit disappointed about missing the run because I was ready to embark on my new tactic of random routes (or at least not the same route every day)! I should try to go for a run tomorrow so that I can rest Saturday before a longer run on Sunday.
I bet you never knew that there were gadgets to aid running? I didn't. Well check it out. There's a range of GPS units which strap on the wrist and they will log your distance, speed. The top of the range model even records heart rate. All that data can be downloaded to PC for analysis.
No more guessing on my distances (particularly on unfamiliar routes) or wondering whether I'm going too fast or too slow. Oh sorry, I shouldn't talk too soon, I have to check the price and get permission from the boss yet!
