Things fell apart quickly for my run with the trail crew. Joe has a bad ankle and Rich needed to run very early due to a family commitment. I was feeling tired and didn't feel like getting up early so I decided to sleep in a little bit. When I woke up, I had a text from Rich about Northshore Trail being closed due to a missing mountain biker. The Army Corps of Engineers and the FloMo Police closed off the trail head and were performing a search. I looked outside at about 7am and it was raining. Checked the weather and a big storm cell looked like it was bearing down on Coppell so I went back to bed and slept for another hour. My wife asked me when I was going to run. I told her I was hoping for a break in the rain. She made a solid point that if I didn't get out there soon, it would get hot and the humidity would really be bad. She was right so I got ready and left. It was a steady rain for the entire run. Not real heavy but it was steady. The rain should have made the run a little more enjoyable but not so much. For some reason, the rain made is seem a little more sauna like. I still deployed the pouring water on my head and face to stay cool. As a recovery week, I only ran about 9 miles. Slow and steady.
