Headed out with Paul R. today on an Aegon loop. On the way over to the fitness center it seemed as though the weather was breaking and we would have a dry, 60 degree run. All that changed in the span of 15 minutes. A little drizzle was falling as we walked out the door, which quickly progressed into a downpour. On the way down the GVP and only flat road, the 40+ MPH wind and rain was right in our faces and I quickly learned how to run while staring straight down at my feet. This went on for about a mile, before we turned off Flat Rd. Miraculously, the wind and rain abated and we were left with the puddles and curb streams as the only remnants of the rain.

I've never been through the Aegon corporate park before. It looks like a building from the 70s. Tough to say what actually contributed to that assumption: maybe it was the dark wood siding combined with the dark green pine trees and the soft brown of dead pine needles. The site closed down and the parking lot was empty, but there is nice route that winds all the way around the perimeter. At one point I noticed a few beer cans and Paul mentioned that he had made his way off the trail and into the parking lot only to stumble across a car rocking back and forth on its axles. Seems like Aegon is now the place to party.

My legs were feeling pretty sore from yesterday, having to run in my Asics Cumulus from about 2 years ago (my other pair were soaked in the recent rain). Had to run in them again today, but my legs felt a bit looser than this morning. Hopefully they won't be too sore tonight.

About 4 miles in 32 minutes.
