     This morning I ran 12.25 at 8:38 pace. There were off and on rain showers and wind. At one point I was running into a stiff headwind with the rain coming down and was reminded of the St George Mar. last year. I was glad I didn't have to worry about the pace and after a mile and a half I got to turn and make it a crosswind rather than 26 miles of headwind.

PM 4.1 miles slow. 2 were in five fingers.

     It was really pouring this morning [3/4 of an inch] so I went out at noon. It drizzled a little off and on but wasn't bad. I ran 8 miles at 8:37 pace.

     Was planning a bike ride this morning but woke up to a downpour again. My rain gage is almost up to 2 inches since Tues. The rain let up around noon but I couldn't get out until about 3. It had looked threatening all day so I took a pack with a fleece jacket, gloves, and a hat but no long pants. Of course about a mile in it started to rain. I was on a gravel road that has a sandy base so it doesn't get too muddy but it does throw up a lot of grit with the road spray. A couple of miles of that and it cleared up again and was nice until 5 miles to go. I figured I could just tough it out for the last 5 in my thin tech shirt but it started to thunder and lightning and really dump. I was glad I had the warmer stuff to put on but should have had some long pants. I got totally soaked before I got home. Being a farmer  that has just been through several years of drought and a lot of praying for rain I tell myself that I refuse to complain about rain although days like this it can be tough not to. Went 20 miles total on the mt bike. Hoping to get a run in sometime later.

     PM easy 4 mile run.

The first 4.5 miles at 7:53 pace then some fartlec the last 4 miles running the first 1/4 of each mile about 6:15 pace and maintaining about 7:45 pace the rest of each mile. Overall pace was 7:37.

     Ran 12 miles up around the reservoir. There was more people than usual because of the free fishing day. Got hit with a little light rain. The road was mostly dry until the last mile before turning around where there must have been a real cloud burst just ahead of me because it got real muddy. Ave pace 7:57.

     Was planning to do the Cache Valley Biathlon today but a new race director took over this year and I guess it got canceled.
