LM warmup, 10 miles in 1:16, 7:38/mi, with last mile moderate in 6:55. Got up to run this one at 6am, hit the hotel door, and stopped before stepping out into the downpour with significant gusty winds....just couldn't bring myself to face it. Fortunately, I got another chance in the pm and the weather was still lousy, but tolerable. Felt really good to start and started ticking off sub 8 min miles from the start......perhaps the pm start? Felt so good moved into moderate for the last mile, which really didn't feel all that hard at all....breathing under control at 3-3 for all but the last 0.2 or so. Aside from a forced bathroom break (fortunately, the library was close and open) at 7.25, no issues. Now I'm tired.
