Distance: 4.51k (plus how much I ran while RunKeeper was paused because my phone rang)
Time: 33:39 (plus about a minute while RunKeeper was paused)
Snuck in a last-minute run before it got too dark today. It wasn’t too windy, but it was drizzly and grey. I got to try out my new rain jacket, and I have to say I was less than thrilled with it. It was comfortable for the first part of the run, and it kept me dry from the rain, but by the end of my run, I felt like I was wearing a plastic bag. The sweat was a sheen down both arms, and I was way too warm. I took the jacket off on the drive home, and when I put it back on to go into the house, the inside of the sleeves were wet. Yuck. I’m beginning to wonder whether there is such a thing as a rain jacket that keeps the rain out but is not too hot, and is comfortable and nice-looking. Is that too much to ask?
I think that RunKeeper is working better now that I followed the email advice I got to delete the program and re-install it. It still didn’t display the first kilometer split properly, but I think that’s because my phone rang, which paused the program. I forgot that the phone ringing pauses the program so I ran for about a minute before resuming the program, which messed up my time and distance. My only complaint with the program now is that I set up a playlist of podcasts which RunKeeper doesn’t seem to acknowledge, so I’ll have to use the free version to listen to those during my run.
The best news of my run today is that my knee was only a bit sore, and it was better not long after my run. If it holds up, I’m going to try another run tomorrow, because then I go back to work. Speaking of, I’m waiting to hear about a job that I applied for, and not knowing is driving me nuts. I was hoping to hear by today, since the posting closed on Wednesday afternoon, but it looks like I won’t hear till Monday at the earliest. It’s gonna be a long couple of days!
