stuck in the rain 2 days in a row!

yesterday i met danielle to go swimming and i made it about a quarter mile before i threw in the towel (but not literally, i only had one and i needed it to dry off). so today i needed to make a better effort and did. about a mile run to jefferson for warm up, then did 3 miles on the tread starting at 8:30 min miles, pyramid'd to 7:30 min miles, then finished the last half mile at 7:50ish for a total of 23:30. then hit the bike for 15 minutes and was a gross sweaty mess. i then laid outside for a few hours and enjoyed the sun and humidity (or not). then it started to rain on when i was heading back, so i sprinted the mile back...it was so fun to run in the rain but at the same time, i was already beat! i swear i was ready to whip this triathlon about 2 wks ago, but i feel like i've lost so much ground since then and i'm not sure why. frustrations. but tomorrow i'm going to the beach to cheer on cara and also get a solid beach run in. i'm excited for that and i hope the weather keeps!
