    @kristinegift - Wow. You made that PR time with quad cramping over 2 miles??? You are my hero!

    Haha, thanks! It was intermittent and just the inner corners of my quads above my knees. But oh boy was it tough to push through!

    6/02 - 1.0 mile run - 3.0 mile walk

    Progress: 5.1 out of 50 miles

    Tonight was a GREAT night! I went to a nearby pond which has a 1.25 mile trail around it. The plan was to run two laps broken up by walking so I could see how my Achilles reacted after feeling no pain yesterday. I'm glad to say that I still didn't feel a thing. In fact, I felt so good, I ended up running 3+ laps, plus the walking for five laps total. I think I could have run a couple more laps, as good as I felt.

    The night started out with a light sprinkle but by the time I was warmed up, it was a downpour. I LOVE running in the rain, so that wasn't a problem. 20 minutes later it went back down to a light sprinkle for the duration. The rain did have some ill effects, however.

    1) I couldn't use my bluetooth headset. I normally use music to help me with pacing. Without that, I went by feel and had difficulty keeping an even pace. I finally started singing a song in my head and that helped. The net effect was that I ran faster than I normally would have. I don't have the average running pace, but the combined pace of running + walking was 12:30 min. That's normally my easy run pace so I must be improving! Perhaps I need to start running by apparent effort, rather than by the beat.

    2) After a while I could feel my socks getting soaked. That was not not a problem until the last two laps. When I got home I had pruned feet. How do marathoners handle this when they run in the rain? Just suffer?

    3) Chaffing. I wore the same type of underwear I've worn many other times with no issues, but with the rain it was different. I didn't realize it until I hit the shower and OUCH! Time to figure out what to wear for underwear in the rain, and perhaps when I start hitting longer distances.

    I'm going to force myself to take a break tomorrow and hit it again Friday.

    I don't wear socks when running so I can't help you there. I don't like my feet getting hot. Funny you mention the chafing. I've never chafed when it's not raining yet, but I'm still building up my mileage. Body glide might be your friend. I don't have any yet, but I've heard good things about it. Also consider wearing different clothes if it's going to rain.

    @7lenny7 chaffing issues I and most people I know don't normally wear underwear, just shorts with a good liner or personally I prefer tights/cycleshorts like shorts. I never get any issues except in runs over around 4 or 5 hours in the rain (and I get a lot of rain where I run) and then bodyglide is your friend

    As for socks a lot of trails I run on can be wet, make sure your shoes drain well also get some good socks that dry quickly and don't hold onto moisture. Running socks are a bit of a personal preference for short distances I like new balance invisible ones. Longer runs my favourite are INOV8 ultra coolmax ones
