Once again, pouring rain on the day I desire to get a long run in. Decided to go out anyway. Began with a 12-mile loop and by mile 5 my legs felt like I had 5lb weights strapped to them- thoroughly soaked! Did the first loop in 1:31:31 (7:38 pace)...Quickly changed clothing- shorts, shirt, shoes, socks, and ventured out on an 8-mile loop. New from the beginning it would be tough. Just kept a slow steady pace and finished the loop in 1:07:09 (8:24 pace). No records broken today, yet satisfied with getting the distance in on a difficult day.

Way to get it in on a tough day. You can remember days like this when you are in the last 6 miles of a marathon and know that you put the work in.

Way to go! I love running in the rain. I'm just a little bit jealous.

Jim, thanks...you make a great point.

Mike, your a Seattle guy, right? You guys gotta love the rain. Hope you're back out on the roads soon!
